This article proposes a fault-tolerant finite-time controller for attitude tracking control of rigid spacecraft using intermediate quaternion in the presence of external disturbances, uncertain inertia parameter, and actuator faults. First, a novel nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode control law is derived using intermediate quaternion, free of singularity, ambiguity, and unwinding phenomenon. Second, a proposed controller is developed by combining the continuous nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode method with the finite-time disturbance observer. The key feature of the proposed control strategy is that it globally stabilizes the system in finite time, even in the presence of actuator faults, inertia uncertainty, and external disturbances. Simulation results are presented under actuator constraint to show the desirable properties and the superiority of the proposed controller compared to an asymptotic controller and nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode controller.
