Data-Driven LightGBM Attitude Controller for Low Earth Orbit Satellites With Explicit Gravity Gradient, Geomagnetic, and Aerodynamic Disturbance Modeling
This paper presents a data-driven spacecraft attitude controller based on LightGBM gradient-boosted trees, specialized for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites under realistic environmental disturbances. We augment the sixth-order Cayley–Rodrigues attitude model with an analytical gravity gradient torque, prove that exact...
