Abstract :
The problems of attitude stabilization and disturbance torque attenuation for a small spacecraft using magnetic actuators is considered and a solution to the problem in terms of optimal periodic control is proposed, based on an optimal estimation and compensation scheme for external disturbances for linear time-periodic systems
