This paper investigates the distributed neural network (NN)-based fixed-time practical attitude synchronization of the networked spacecraft systems (NSSs) with model uncertainties and external disturbances. A novel practical attitude synchronization scheme is proposed using the Lagrangian representation of spacecraft attitude dynamics for both leaderless and leader-follower cases. Fixed-time control is first employed to enhance robustness against model uncertainties, and the NN is then integrated to advance its adaptability. Additionally, a unified analytical framework is developed to establish the fixed-time practical stability of the control system using the Lyapunov function method. Furthermore, the allowable upper bound expressions of the practical attitude synchronization error and the settling time are analytically derived for the NSSs. Finally, comparative simulations are conducted to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

One-Degree-of-Freedom System
A one-degree-of-freedom system is defined by an independent variable that determines its state and behavior. One example of a one-degree-of-freedom system is a simple harmonic oscillator, such as a...
Linear time-invariant Systems
The input-output behavior of an LTI system can be fully defined by its response to an impulsive excitation at its input. Once this impulse response is known, the system's reaction to any other input can be...
Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
