Abstract
Equations of motion for a special system pertaining to the class of mixed nonholonomic mechanical systems are studied in the modern setting of geometric mechanics The presented attitude control test bed is intended to provide an experimental facility that in certain senses emulates the dynamics of onorbit conditions in the laboratory site allowing the evaluation of path planning and feedback control algorithms This paper demonstrates the feasibility of the approach and proposes a concurrent solution to the attitude tracking control problem that due to uncertainties of the parameters is likely to require effective adaptive aptitudes Moreover the invariance with respect to Lie group actions of governing dynamics and measurable output readings has allowed the investigation of controllability and observability in an intrinsic manner
