title = "Performance evaluation of the inverse dynamics method for optimal spacecraft reorientation",
abstract = "In this paper we apply the inverse dynamics in the virtual domain method to Euler angles, quaternion, and modified Rodrigues parameters for rapid optimal attitude trajectory generation for spacecraft reorientation. The impact of the virtual domain and attitude representation is numerically investigated for both minimum-time and minimum-energy problems. Owing to the nature of the inverse dynamics method, it yields sub-optimal solutions for minimum-time problems. The virtual domain improves the solution, but at the cost of more computational time. The attitude representation also affects solution quality and computational speed. For minimum-fuel problems, the optimal solution can be obtained without the virtual domain.",
