摘要：AbstractThe problem of magnetic detumbling, also known as magnetic momentum unloading, is considered. The objective is to stabilize a rigid spacecraft angular velocity to zero only through magnetic actuation, i.e. magneto-torquers. We propose a generalized control law that isuniformly, globally exponentially stabilizing(UGES) and show that the celebratedb-dot lawis one particular case of this law. Furthermore, we provide an explicit (time-varying) strict Lyapunov function to establish the stability claim.
