ACOSS Six (Active Control of Space Structures)

Abstract

The research documented in this report addresses several major technical issues in vibration controller design methodologies that are of fundamental importance to control of large flexible space structures. Fundamentally important analytical and numerical results, as well as useful new insights, have been obtained on: optimality of fixed-form reduced-order compensators; full-order closed-loop stability and robustness with reduced-order controllers; prevention of control and observation spillover; active augmentation of damping, stiffness, and stability, stabilizability by output feedback control; large-angle maneuver with simultaneous vibration suppression; and possibilities for improving current controller design methodologies.
