A Mixed Variable Speed Reaching Law of Sliding Mode Control for Spacecraft Tracking System.

For spacecraft tracking control system, the reaching law election and controller design are two crucial and important problems. In this paper, spacecraft tracking system is considered as a discrete-time system, a mixed variable speed reaching law of SMC, and a controller for spacecraft tracking system has been investigated. Theory proves that this method can ensure the stability of spacecraft system and eliminate the chattering phenomenon. Furthermore, when spacecraft is inflicted by a certain external interference, the regulating function of neural network can ensure strong robustness of the system. Simulation results show that, compared with exponential reaching law and classical variable speed reaching law, the proposed reaching law has better suppress chattering effect and dynamic performance.
