The challenging problem on the design of a large-angle attitude tracking controller for rigid satellites without angular velocity measurements is investigated in this article. An efficient and practical angular velocity-free control strategy with a simple, yet efficient structure is proposed. The attitude tracking maneuver is accomplished with the desired attitude pointing accuracy ensured despite disturbances. Compared with the existing observer-based velocity-free schemes, no observer is embedded into the control scheme. The developed approach can be implemented online and in real time. It does not require expensive online computation, enabling its convenient application to practical large-angle attitude tracking maneuvers. The presented control solution is numerically and experimentally validated on a rigid satellite testbed.
