Thanks for reply. However, I am looking to hear from real practitioners who are updated with this problem and aware with current trends.

refer to this article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attitude_control#Types_of_stabilization

Thanks for reply and attention. I am more interested about control techniques (algorithms) which actually applied on board.

The control techniques and algorithms depend, mainly, on the mission, the sensors and actuators we choose for the system, the attitude accuracy, the specifications of the ADCS board and so on.

You should be specific about these items.

We can use variety of techniques to deal with various situations and faults.

For example, if we use three reaction wheels and some of them fail, the system becomes under-actuated. We may identify this situation in the state machine of the ADCS.

Dear Salman,

Thanks for replying. Surely, techniques/algorithms are mission, sensor, and actuator dependent. I raised this question to understand better the current status that in use as many recent control techniques have been reported in recent literature.

You rightly said that variety of techniques available to deal with various situations and faults. But, again, what is in use (mainly control law/technique)?

Do you know any link to read about mission-wise control techniques applied.

Best
