Features: Spacecraft control is a new branch of the application of automatic control principles in the aerospace field. Based on an introduction to spacecraft kinematics and dynamics, this book systematically presents the fundamental principles and methods of navigation, guidance, and control for various types of spacecraft, as well as the hardware principles and technologies of commonly used control devices, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of spacecraft control. The book is divided into eleven chapters. Chapters 1 to 8 cover general introduction, orbital mechanics and orbital description, attitude control of spacecraft, and navigation and guidance of spacecraft; the last three chapters introduce the composition and navigation, guidance, and control technologies of manned spacecraft, including manned spacecraft such as crewed spacecraft, space shuttles, and permanent space stations. Each chapter includes review questions. This book can serve as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in automatic control, aerospace, and related fields at universities, as well as a reference for researchers working in automatic control, aerospace technology, and related fields.
