Abstract

A novel predefined-time attitude control method for VTHL reusable launch vehicle is proposed in the presence of parameter uncertainties and disturbances in the reentry phase. The attitude errors of the VTHL reusable vehicle can be stabilized to zero in a predefined time which is independent of any initial condition. Firstly,a novel nonsingular predefined-time sliding mode surface is proposed based on the inverse tangent function,on which the states converge to the origin in predefined time. Subsequently,a predefined-time sliding mode controller is designed to ensure that the sliding mode arrives in predefined-time. The sinusoidal compensation function is introduced to avoid singularity of the controller. Moreover,with the usage of the predefined-time extended state observer,the robustness of the control system is enhanced,and the chattering phenomenon is alleviated. Finally,the predefined-time convergence of the attitude tracking errors is analyzed by the Lyapunov method. Various numerical simulation results are carried out,demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
