Abstract
This work presents the development of a robust control design for spacecraft with six degrees of freedom (6-DOF), considering nonlinear dynamics, looking for exponential convergence to an objective location and orientation. To represent the rotation and translation movements, quaternions and Newton-Euler differential equations will be used. The nonlinear system will be presented in the quasi-LPV (Linear Parameter Varying) form under a gain scheduled control law, with the synthesis of the gain matrices obtained by means of convex optimization with linear matrix constraints.
