In the early to mid-2000s, NASA made substantial progress in the development of solar sail propulsion systems. Solar sail propulsion uses the solar radiation pressure exerted by the momentum transfer of reflected photons to generate a net force on a

Attitude dynamics of a solar sail are described relative to an orbiting local-vertical/local-horizontal frame under the influence of aerodynamic, solar, and gravity-gradient torques. The complete set of equilibria of the sail normal vector in local-v

High-performance control design for a flexible space structure is challenging as highfidelity plant models are difficult to obtain a priori. Uncertainty in the control design models typically require a very robust, low-performance control design, whi

Many microgravity science experiments need an active isolation system to provide a sufficiently quiescent acceleration environment. The glovebox integrated microgravity isolation technology (g-LIMIT) vibration isolation system will provide isolation

This study investigates the use of H2, p-synthesis, and mixed H2/mu methods to construct full-order controllers and optimized controllers of fixed dimensions. The benchmark problem definition is first extended to include uncertainty within the contro

Recent developments in the field of robust multivariable control have merged the theories of H-infinity and H-2 control. This mixed H-2/H-infinity compensator formulation allows design for nominal performance by H-2 norm minimization while guaranteei

This paper presents the preliminary study results of dynamic modeling and flight control simulation of large flexible launch vehicles such as the Ares-I Crew Launch Vehicle. A complete set of six-degrees-of-freedom dynamic models of the Ares-I, incor
