In this paper, a robust inertia-free attitude takeover control scheme with guaranteed prescribed performance is investigated for postcapture combined spacecraft with consideration of unmeasurable states, unknown inertial property and external disturbance torque. Firstly, to estimate the unavailable angular velocity of combination accurately, a novel finite-time-convergent tracking differentiator is developed with a quite computationally achievable structure free from the unknown nonlinear dynamics of combined spacecraft. Then, a robust inertia-free prescribed performance control scheme is proposed, wherein, the transient and steady-state performance of combined spacecraft is first quantitatively studied by stabilizing the filtered attitude tracking errors. Compared with the existing works, the prominent advantage is that no parameter identifications and no neural or fuzzy nonlinear approximations are needed, which decreases the complexity of robust controller design dramatically. Moreover, the prescribed performance of combined spacecraft is guaranteed a priori without resorting to repeated regulations of the controller parameters. Finally, four illustrative examples are employed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme and tracking differentiator. (C) 2018 ISA Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
