Adaptive Fixed-Time Nonsingular Terminal Sliding Mode Attitude Tracking Control for Spacecraft with Actuator Saturations and Faults by Zhiguo Han, Minghao Wang, Xunliang Yan, Hang Qian

“…The designed controller considers the saturation of the actuator output torque so that the spacecraft can operate within the saturation magnitude without on-line fault estimation. Lyapunov stability analysis shows that under multiple constraints such as actuator saturation, external disturbances, and inertia uncertainties, the controller has fast convergence and has good fault tolerance to actuator fault. …”
