Rossa, F.D. ; Bergamasco, Marco ; Lovera, Marco
Abstract :
The dynamics of a spacecraft equipped with magnetic actuators operating under a static attitude and rate feedback control law designed using averaging theory is considered and the asymptotic behaviour of the closed-loop system as a function of the averaging scaling parameter is analysed, using bifurcation methods.
