What is it about?

This paper proposes a robust sliding mode control (SMC) method to control the attitude(pitch, roll, yaw) of a small satellite with CEACS operating in LEO in presence of uncertainties and disturbance. The paper provides a thorough literature review of the system and the SMC application in small satellites. The control law development is very detailed and it can be used as a guide for designing sliding mode controllers for satellites.

Why is it important?

It proposes a simple yet effective method to avoid singularity in SMC implementation. It provides a superior control performance for a small satellite featuring CEACS in presence of uncertainties and disturbances It solves the three axes control problem of a small satellite with CEACS

Perspectives

The paper can be used as a step-by-step guide for designing sliding mode controller for satellites. All aspects of the design are explained with details.
