description This study investigated the adaptive fault-tolerant control (FTC) for a flexible variable structure spacecraft in the presence of external disturbance, multiple actuator faults, and saturation. The attitude system model of a variable structure spacecraft and actuator fault model are first given. A sliding mode-based fault detection observer and a radial basis function-based fault estimation observer were designed to detect the time of actuator fault occurrence and estimate the amplitude of an unknown fault, respectively. Then, the adaptive FTC with variable structure harmonic functions was proposed to automatically repair multiple actuator faults, which first guaranteed that the state trajectory of attitude systems without actuator saturation converges to a neighborhood of the origin. Then, another improved adaptive FTC scheme was further proposed in the actuator saturation constraint case, ensuring that all the closed-loop signals are finite-time convergence. Finally, simulation results are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
