Abstract
A controller to rotate a rigid body between two successive orientation s is designed. Particular features are the bet that it is based on the quaternion approach, known to provide singularity-free attitude descr iption, and it is adaptive in the sense that it does not need specific knowledge of the inertia matrix. Global stability of the overall cont roller is proved analytically and tested in computer simulations.
