The controller design for reusable launch vehicles is challenging due to enormous amounts of model parameter uncertainties and atmospheric disturbances. This paper first derives six-degree-of-freedom model of a reusable launch vehicle with atmospheric disturbances. Next, four kinds of atmospheric disturbances are introduced and wind models are established respectively. For attitude control of the reusable launch vehicle, a nonsingular terminal sliding mode controller is designed with stability guaranteed. Finally, simulation results show a satisfactory performance for the attitude tracking of the reusable launch vehicle with atmospheric disturbances.
