Abstract: This paper addresses the control problems of distributed attitude coordination for multiple flexible spacecraft based on the feedback of inertial vector measurements. It is assumed that the angular velocity information is not available, and the modal variable cannot be measured. The orientation error model with vector measurements is introduced. And then the distributed attitude synchronization control scheme is presented without actuator faults or disturbances. It is guaranteed that the desired equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable and the undesired equilibrium is unstable. Meanwhile, the domain of attraction is given by inequality constraints. In the case that there exist actuator faults and external disturbances, a robust fault-tolerant control strategy is developed to realize attitude synchronization. The hyperbolic tangent function in place of sign function is adopted to eliminate external disturbances. Meanwhile, the adaptive laws are proposed to estimate actuator faults. The salient feature of these control approaches is that no modal variable observers are utilized and the control schemes are robust to the inertia uncertainty of spacecraft. Finally, numerical simulations are implemented to manifest the validity of the presented control schemes.
