  • Abstract
    A quaternion-based nonlinear control law is proposed for a class of nonlinear multibody flexible space systems. Assuming collocated actuators and sensors, the control law is shown to provide global asymptotic stability despite modeling errors and parametric uncertainties. The results represent a generalization of the existing results for single-body rigid spacecraft, and are applicable to systems such as flexible multi-payload space platforms and space manipulators
