In this article, attitude coordination control for flexible spacecraft formation flying is investigated in the condition that common reference attitude is only available to a subset of the followers of the group. Measurement errors, immeasurable flexible modal variables, external disturbances, and model uncertainties of both rigid and flexible dynamics are addressed concurrently. Then, based on the sequential Lyapunov method, successively less conservative attitude coordination performance bounds can be obtained with the proposed distributed attitude coordination controller.
