Abstract
This paper presents a feed-forward control with a parameter identification law for an artificial satellite with antennas or manipulator arms. The proposed method utilizes the linearity of the unknown parameters on the angular momentum. It is possible to append an identification capability by adding a few terms to a conventional feed-forward control. This paper also proposes a compensation method for the time delay in the velocity control loop of the wheels and analyses its effects on the parameter identification results. The analytical results coincide well with simulation results and the effects of the time delay are expressed quantitatively.
