AbstractThis paper considers the finite-time control problem of 6DOF spacecraft formation flying (SFF) systems in the presence of external disturbances. First of all, based on nonsingular terminal sliding mode (NTSM) method, a local finite-time control law is proposed. Then a finite-time disturbance observer (FTDOB) is introduced to estimate the disturbances, and a composite control law which consists of a feedback control law based on NTSM method and a feed-forward compensation term based on FTDOB technique is constructed such that the follower spacecraft can track the desired trajectory in finite time. The major merit of the proposed method is that chattering is substantially reduced because the switching gain of the discontinuous control law is only required to be greater than the bound of disturbance estimation error rather than that of the disturbances. Furthermore, based on switching control method, continuous NTSM and FTDOB technique, a global finite-time control law is developed for 6DOF SFF systems. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed methods are validated by numerical simulations.
