The problems of optimal stabilization of an underactuated spacecraft using two wheels are investigated in this paper. Considering this kind of spacecraft cannot be stabilized by time-invariant smooth control laws, an inverse optimal control law is presented which circumvents the task of solving the Hamilton–Jacobi equation and minimizes a meaningful cost function based on the direct Lyapunov method...
