            Abstract : 
In this paper, the problem of H∞ control of a rigid spacecraft with three control torques and disturbances is addressed. The Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs inequality on the tangent bundle of SO(3) for H∞ feedback design is solved. An H∞ suboptimal feedback is given and the stability properties of the closed loop system are studied
