Space shuttle rudder/speedbrake subsystem analysis

The Continuous System Modeling Program (CSMP) is described with its uses, its limitations, and its application to the rudder/speedbrake (R/SB) subsystem. The space shuttle R/SB is analyzed using the CSMP. Areas of analysis emphasized include: step response, ramp response, and the delay time or deadspace observed in system response. Results are presented and discussed.
