Launch Vehicle Ambiguity Remediation and Morse–Lyapunov-Based Control with Parameter Uncertainties

What is it about?

This paper presents the development of a controller that considers changing mass properties (mass, center of mass, and moments of inertia) in addition to traditional state measurements such as position, attitude, rotational and translational velocity, and rotational and translational acceleration in the presence of noisy sensor measurements. Additionally, it demonstrates the ability of coupled formulations that consider both rotational and translational motion within a nonlinear framework to use precision in one set of states to overcome ambiguity in others.
