Purpose

This paper aims to investigate the attitude synchronization issue of multi-spacecraft formation flying systems under the limited communication resources.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors propose a distributed learning Chebyshev neural network controller (LCNNC) combining a dynamic event-triggered (DET) mechanism and a learning CNN model to achieve accurate multi-spacecraft attitude synchronization under communication constraints.

Findings

The proposed method can significantly reduce the internal communication frequency and improve the attitude synchronization accuracy.

Practical implications

This method requires the low communication resources, has a high control accuracy and is thus suitable for engineering applications.

Originality/value

A novel DET mechanism-based LCNNC is proposed to achieve the accurate multi-spacecraft attitude synchronization under communication constraints.
