This book explores topics that are central to the field of
spacecraft attitude determination and control. The authors provide
rigorous theoretical derivations of significant algorithms
accompanied by a generous amount of qualitative discussions of the
subject matter. The book documents the development of the important
concepts and methods in a manner accessible to practicing
engineers, graduate-level engineering students and applied
mathematicians. It includes detailed examples from actual mission
designs to help ease the transition from theory to practice and
also provides prototype algorithms that are readily available on
the author's website. Subject matter includes both theoretical
derivations and practical implementation of spacecraft attitude
determination and control systems. It provides detailed derivations
for attitude kinematics and dynamics and provides detailed
description of the most widely used attitude parameterization, the
quaternion. This title also provides a thorough treatise of
attitude dynamics including Jacobian elliptical functions. It is
the first known book to provide detailed derivations and
explanations of state attitude determination and gives readers
real-world examples from actual working spacecraft missions. The
subject matter is chosen to fill the void of existing textbooks and
treatises, especially in state and dynamics attitude determination.
MATLAB code of all examples will be provided through an external
website.
