This paper introduces a nonlinear reorientation and attitude controller. The controller requires practically no tuning and is applicable to arbitrary rigid spacecraft configurations. The user needs to input only data pertaining to the physical problem setup, such as the spacecraft’s inertia matrix, initial conditions, target orientation, control constraint, and slew rate limit. Global asymptotic stability is guaranteed as well as satisfaction of a user-prescribed control constraint and the slew rate limit. The controller is computationally inexpensive, and numerical tests show excellent performance in terms of transient behavior, overall maneuver time, and robustness.
