This paper presents application of the modified reference model MRAC (M-MRAC) method to control the relative position and orientation of a cluster of satellites known collectively as the Synchronized Position Hold, Engage, Reorient Experimental Satellites (SPHERES). The approach uses fast estimation algorithms to achieve guaranteed tracking of reference commands for both input and output signals in the presence of uncertainties in mass and inertia data and external disturbances. The tracking errors can be systematically decreased by the proper selection of the design parameters in the identification model. The generated control signals have acceptable magnitudes and exhibit no oscillations. The benefits of the method are demonstrated in numerical simulations.
