Abstract
This paper introduces neurogenetic controllers designed for small satellites. We introduce two main classes of neurogenetic control topologies that clearly unveil two different approaches toward the use of neurocomputing and evolutionary computing in many tasks of control engineering. The two main neurogenetic control architectures that are elaborated in this paper are gain scheduling and matrix feedback control with genetic training of the feedback matrix. A number of experiments were carried out in the context of control environment for small satellites.
