A sub-optimal singularity avoidance large angle rest-to-rest attitude maneuver control of a rigid spacecraft actuated using a double-gimbal variable-speed control moment gyro (DGVSCMG) is proposed for avoiding the control torque saturation and the gimbal lock singularity. To achieve this objective,...
