A TUTORIAL ON BANG-BANG ALGORITHM FOR ATTITUDE CONTROL SYSTEM

Abstract

The physical environment of a space vehicle shows that bang-bang method for attitude control system of a space vehicle is a viable and natural choice. This tutorial describes the algorithm and the specific aspects of its implementation. It derives the equations and the switching surface used by the method. The immediate benefits of this design is short response time which results in larger fuel margin, less fuel consumption and less weight.
