Abstract: The attitude maneuver schemes for large-scale spacecraft with ultra-low vibration frequency were designed using Bang-Bang, filter attitude programming and classical phase control. The physical testbed of large-scale spacecraft with ultra-low vibration frequency was established to validate the different control schemes. Using different attitude programming methods and different attitude control actors including jets or control moment gyros, five attitude schemes were designed, i.e. attitude tracking controller with Bang-Bang programming and jets, attitude tracking controller with filter programming and jets, attitude tracking controller with Bang-Bang programming and control moment gyros, attitude tracking controller with filter programming and control moment gyros, phase controller with biased angular velocity and jets. The different control schemes were tested on the physical testbed. It is shown that the scheme of attitude tracking controller with filter programming and control moment gyros has the minimal vibration, whose vibration magnitude is reduced by 81.8% compared with the maximum vibration of classical phase control scheme.
