This course will teach you the skills needed to program specific orientation and achieve precise targeting of spacecraft moving in three-dimensional space. We first review definitions of stability of nonlinear dynamical systems, covering the difference between local and global stability. We then analyze and apply the direct Lyapunov method to prove these stability properties and develop a nonlinear 3-axis guidance control law using Lyapunov theory.
Control of nonlinear motion of spacecraft to change orientation is listed in the GenAI.Works courses directory, from University of Colorado.
