Zenith Star Support Experiment Design.

Abstract

Experiments are proposed that can be performed on the SPICE structure in support of the Zenith Star Experiments. The fourteen experimental proposals fall into four categories: isolation of a space beam expander from on-board disturbances, evaluation of pointing and tracking systems, uses of advanced materials and passive damping, and characterization of disturbances. At least four experiments are proposed in each category. Those rated most valuable by Zenith Star personnel include: advanced composite materials studies, admittance modeling of a passive structure, and further research into the capabilities of the Space Active Vibration Isolation System (SAVI).
