Rate damping in the initial acquisition phase of a magnetically controlled small satellite is a big challenge for the control system. In this phase, the main difficulties are dynamic nonlinearities due to high body rates, time-varying control due to the change in Earth’s magnetic field, inherent underactuation, and constraints on available power. The control system is required to minimize the detumbling time with minimal use of onboard resources. In comparison to the existing control techniques used in the initial acquisition phase, predictive control can be considered a suitable choice for handling such conflicting objectives in the presence of constraints. In this work, performance of two existing nonlinear model predictive control schemes that guarantee closed-loop stability are analyzed. Nonlinear model predictive control gives improved performance by reducing the detumbling time compared to classical control techniques based on the rate of change of Earth’s magnetic field; however, the computational ...
