In this paper we derive the singularity-free dynamic equations of spacecraft-manipulator systems using a minimal representation. Spacecraft are normally modeled using Euler angles, which leads to singularities, or Euler parameters, which is not a minimal representation and thus not suited for Lagrange's equations. We circumvent these issues by introducing quasi-coordinates which allows us to derive the dynamics using minimal and globally valid non-Euclidean configuration coordinates. This is a great advantage as the configuration space of a spacecraft is non-Euclidean. We thus obtain a computationally efficient and singularity-free formulation of the dynamic equations with the same complexity as the conventional Lagrangian approach. The closed form formulation makes the proposed approach well suited for system analysis and model-based control. This paper focuses on the dynamic properties of free-floating and free-flying spacecraft-manipulator systems and we show how to calculate the inertia and Coriolis matrices in such a way that this can be implemented for simulation and control purposes without extensive knowledge of the mathematical background. This paper represents the first detailed study of modeling of spacecraft-manipulator systems with a focus on a singularity free formulation using the proposed framework.
