Oral presentation of first year final report, appendix A

Abstract

Plans for self contained in-house capability to test Large Space Structures (LSS) and their control prior to flight are presented. A ground test facility which demonstrates and validates LSS control theory is defined. An experiment is designed which assures a high success rate for flight test. A strapdown algorithm is developed. Research on the astromast is reported, as is the development of an overall system model.
