  • Abstract
    In this note, we consider the application of a velocity-free controller for attitude regulation of a rigid spacecraft with gas jet actuators when the effects of time-delays in the feedback loop are taken into consideration. Simple sufficient conditions for exponential stability are presented. Some structural properties of the resulting closed-loop system are studied, and relevant design tools are demonstrated.
