Multi-rotor spacecraft attitude control by triggering chaotic modes on strange chaotic attractors

This paper discusses chaos in dynamical systems as a positive aspect. It can be used to solve the problem of a spacecraft angular reorientation. Chaos can generate such a phase trajectory that will ensure the transition from the initial zone of a phase space to required one. As objects generating dynamical chaos in the paper strange chaotic attractors are considering. The goal is to initiate chaotic attractors in spacecraft attitude dynamics phase space. It is possible to achieve the target angular position of the spacecraft using the initiated chaotic attractors. An algorithm for chaotic attractors creation in the spacecraft attitude dynamics is developed in the paper, and five new chaotic attractors are discovered.
