In this paper, a neural network based optimal adaptive attitude control scheme is derived for the near-space vehicle with uncertainties and external time-varying disturbances. Firstly, radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) approximation method and nonlinear disturbance observer (NDO) are used to tackle the system uncertainties and external disturbances, respectively. Subsequently, a feedforward control input under backstepping control frame with RBFNN and NDO is designed to transform the optimal tracking control problem into an optimal stabilization problem. Then, a single online approximation based adaptive method is used to learn the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation to obtain the corresponding optimal controller. As a result, the compound controller consists of feedforward control input and optimal controller which can ensure that the near-space vehicle attitude angles are able to track reference signals in an optimal way. Lyapunov stability analysis method is used to show that all the closed-loop system signals are uniformly ultimately bounded. Finally, simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed optimal attitude control scheme.
