In this paper, terminal sliding mode attitude tracking control without unwinding for rigid spacecraft is investigated. In order to guarantee the finite-time convergence of the system states and unwinding-free performance of the system on the sliding surface, a novel switching function is constructed by a hyperbolic sine function such that the obtained terminal sliding surface contains two equilibria. Then, a terminal attitude tracking control law is developed to ensure that the system states are driven to the sliding surface in a finite time. Moreover, a boundary layer is introduced to solve the chattering problem of the designed controller. The convergence of the system states within the boundary layer is guaranteed by imposing a constraint for the parameter of the developed switching function. Furthermore, the subsets of attraction domains of the two equilibria are given by designing a dynamic parameter for the proposed control law. The simulation results illustrate that the attitude tracking of rigid spacecraft without unwinding is realized by adopting the proposed attitude control law.
