Abstract The zero-propellant maneuver is an advanced concept of the spacecraft attitude control. The problem of zero-propellant maneuver using single gimbal control moment gyroscopes is researched in this paper. The saturation and singularity problems of single gimbal control moment gyroscopes are analyzed, and the performance indexes to measure saturation and singularity are proposed. The path planning model considering the gimbal steering law is established using modified rodrigues parameter. Then, a hybrid approach combining the pseudospectral method and direct shooting method is proposed to solve the nonlinear path planning problem with complicated constraints. Finally, the numerical simulation is executed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. It is shown that an optimized attitude maneuver path satisfying the saturation and singularity constraints can be obtained and the zero-propellant maneuver using single gimbal control moment gyroscopes can be successfully achieved.
