Abstract
Various methods are presented to control the attitude of satellite due to lack of information of yaw axis attitude so far.
In this paper, a new method is used which is more general and is applicable to all types of satellites, with at least one controller.
This method is not limited to YAW axis and can control the two other axes as well. One feature of this approach is the ability to be modified for large angle maneuvers for special applications.
A new observer is also proposed for the controller, which causes the angles attitude to be kept in desirable values, with minimum control effort and more accuracy. Simulation results show that compare with methods using the complete all axis information, this approach is satisfactory.

Abstract
Control of a class of uncertain nonlinear systems, which estimates unavailable state variables, is considered. A new approach for robust tracking control problem of satellite for large rotational maneuvers is presented in this paper. The features of this approach include a strong algorithm to estimate attitude, based on discrete extended Kalman filter combined with a continuous extended Kalman filter and attitude nonlinear model, and a robust controller based on sliding-mode with perturbation estimation. Estimation accuracy in this method is five times higher than other recent approaches based on Kalman filter. We have used sliding-mode controller in this paper. Not only the controller and the corresponding observer but also their composition must be robust. To make this controller robust against the uncertainty of parameters, the robust Kalman filter is used. Based on interval algebra, an upper bound and a lower bound are estimated for state variables of the system and considering these bounds in indicating the sliding conditions, stability of the controller in combination with the observer will be satisfied simultaneously. The simulation results show the capability of this method in spite of different uncertainty levels (up to %50).
