A mobile satellite communication system (MSCS) is a device installed on a moving carrier for mobile satellite communication. It can eliminate disturbance and maintain continuous satellite communication when the carrier is moving. Because of many advantages of mobile satellite communication, the MSCSs are becoming more and more popular in modern mobile communication. In this paper, a typical ship-mounted MSCS is studied. The dynamic model of the system is derived using the generalized Lagrange method both in the joint space and in the workspace. Based on the dynamic model, a nonlinear computed torque controller with trajectory planning is designed to track an aimed satellite with a satisfied transient response. Simulation results in two different situations are presented to show the tracking performance of the controller.

The tracking and stable control of a typical shipmounted mobile satellite communication system(MSCS) is studied.Unlike the former studies based on simplified single-axis models,a tri-axis nonlinear model including the kinematic and dynamic features of the MSCS is used as the control object.An adaptive robust controller with trajectory planning is designed to deal with large parametric uncertainties and uncertain nonlinearities of the system.A theoretic performance result is given and proved.The designed adaptive robust controller and other two traditional controllers are tested in the comparative simulations under three different situations.The simulation results show the tracking and stable validity of the proposed controller.
