ACOSS Three (Active Control of Space Structures). Phase I.

Abstract

The theory of stability augmentation (active control of vehicle dynamics) for large space structures is developed and tested analytically on a number of strawman configurations including large surveillance and HEL weapons plateforms. It is shown that active control is potentially feasible for micro-vibration stabilization of precision large structures; performance of several experimental breadboards is illustrated to enhance the theory.
