Lorenz-Type Chaotic Attitude Control of Satellite through Predictive Control

This article proposed the model predictive control method to stabilize the Lorenz-type chaotic attitude of a satellite. The attitude equation of a satellite is a six-dimensional nonlinear system, which includes some types of nonlinear behavior such as periodic trajectory, chaotic dynamics. The Lorenz-type chaotic attitude system is adopted in this study. A generalized predictive controller is applied to this class of chaotic dynamical attitude equations to suppress the chaos and regulate the state trajectory of this system to a desire fixed point. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method can satisfy the control object and enhanced stability as well as ease of tuning.
