Abstract: Abstract Large-scale and high-resolution perception is easy to achieve for the physical world, if satellite technology was used in Internet of Things (IoT) in the future. Remote sensing satellite is superior to original method for ground target detection and environmental perception, which could be completed through onboard perception sensors. In the process of detection and perception, satellite needs to frequently perform attitude maneuver in order to meet a variety of task requirements. We have to face with multi-object, multi-sensors constrained maneuver problem. Not only the kinematic and dynamics constraints should been taken into account, but the engineering bounded constraints need to be considered. Moreover, sensor pointing constraints should be elaborated and analyzed reasonably. It is increasingly important how to achieve attitude maneuver in these complex constraints safely and rapidly. Firstly, sensor pointing constraints are translated to quadratic form in order to simplify the representation and computation in the attitude quaternion space. Secondly, we propose an improved RRT planning algorithm for spacecraft, which is able to address a variety of sensor pointing constraints. This algorithm will be used as a global planner, in which the uniformly distributed nodes in the expansion space are randomly sampled and the expanded nodes are screened out based on the comparative evaluation function. Finally, simulation results validate the advantages of the proposed algorithm.
