摘要：Abstract This paper investigates attitude stabilization problem of three-inline array tethered spacecraft formation. A simplified nonlinear model around the equilibrium point is presented under which a novel decentralized formation control scheme is proposed, where the coupling among spacecraft is fully considered by using interconnected system approach and plays an important role in the control design. It is shown that the formation stability can be achieved by using both individual control laws of spacecraft and coupling effects. The issues of decentralized fault tolerant control and fault propagation behaviors are further addressed. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method and the performance improvement by using the new control scheme instead of a distributed control.
