Conditions of implementing dynamical regimes with strange chaotic attractors in attitude dynamics of multi-rotor spacecraft

Abstract

The conditions of implementing chaotic regimes in the attitude dynamics of multi-rotor spacecraft are found. These chaotic regimes correspond to strange chaotic attractors in the phase space of spacecraft dynamics described by the components of the angulr velocity of the main body of spacecraft. At the fulfilment of these conditions and at the creation of corresponded external and internal torques, the system realizes the dynamical regime along the phase trajectory of the strange chaotic attractor. Such regimes can be applied to intentional chaotization of the angular motion of the spacecraft to solve the tasks of the attitude reorientation.
