Actually, the hovering states are unstable considering perturbations and thrust errors, so a feedback sliding mode variable structure control, which is adaptive and chattering-free, is designed. Under this feedback control scheme, the high-frequency chattering phenomenon is avoided, while the system stays highly robust at the same time. Simulation results show that the feedback control thrusts are continuous and the steady-states error can be confmed to 10-4 m at the presence of uncertain perturbations. Finally, the feasibility of realizing hovering orbits is analyzed taking the ＂Moliya＂ and geosynchronous Earth orbit （GEO） satellites as examples.展开更多
