Experimental Verification of an Innovative Performance-Validatio Methodology for Large Space Systems

Abstract

A technology gap exists in verifying performance of large space systems. To fill that gap the proposed program seeks to develop and validate an efficient pre-flight performance verification methodology. The approach involves selective component testing along with analysis of subsystem interactions. The method exploits MEOP(Maximum Entropy/Optimal Projection) Control-SYSTEM design and Majorant Robustness Analysis. The approach will be formulated for several representative large space systems and experimentally verified on a 3-meter diameter multi-hex panel ground-based active controls testbed. Keywords: Robust control design.
