Monte-Carlo based cascade control approach with focus on real overactuated space systems

Abstract

The present research relies on a cascade control approach through the Monte-Carlo based method in the presence of uncertainties to evaluate the performance of the real overactuated space systems. A number of potential investigations in this area are first considered to prepare an idea with respect to state-of-the-art. The insight proposed here is organized to present attitude cascade control approach including the low thrust in connection with the high thrust to be implemented, while the aforementioned Monte-Carlo based method is carried out to guarantee the approach performance. It is noted that the investigated outcomes are efficient to handle a class of space systems presented via the center of mass and the moments of inertial. And also a number of profiles for the thrust vector and the misalignments as the disturbances all vary in its span of nominal variations. The acquired results are finally analyzed in line with some well-known benchmarks to verify the approach efficiency. The key core of finding in the research is to propose a novel 3-axis control approach to deal with all the mentioned uncertainties of space systems under control, in a synchronous manner, as long as the appropriate models in the low-high thrusts are realized.
