Experimental Verification of an Innovative Performance-Validation 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 methodology exploits MEOP (Maximum Entropy/Optimal Projection) Control System Design and Majorant Robustness Analysis. The approach is formulated for several representative large space systems and experimentally verified on a 3-meter diameter multi-hex panel ground-based active control testbed.
