Spacecraft Dynamics and ControlThe Embedded Model Control Approach\nAuthor(s): Enrico Canuto, Carlo Novara, Donato Carlucci, Carlos Perez-Montenegro, Luca Massotti\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science & Technology, United Kingdom\nImprint: Butterworth-Heinemann Ltd\nISBN-13: 9780081007006, 978-0081007006\nSynopsis\nSpacecraft Dynamics and Control: The Embedded Model Control Approach provides a uniform and systematic way of approaching space engineering control problems from the standpoint of model-based control, using state-space equations as the key paradigm for simulation, design and implementation. \n\nThe book introduces the Embedded Model Control methodology for the design and implementation of attitude and orbit control systems. The logic architecture is organized around the embedded model of the spacecraft and its surrounding environment. The model is compelled to include disturbance dynamics as a repository of the uncertainty that the control law must reject to.
