Description of the Book:

This thesis details the further refinement of the Naval Postgraduate School’s Flexible Spacecraft Simulator and the first successful experimental control of the flexible system. The major emphasis of this work has been the development of a system to provide active damping to aid in control of the flexible modes of the system. The completed design of the circuit and the choice and placement of the piezoceramic sensors and actuators are presented. Full operation of the completed damping system has not yet been achieved. Verification of the computer model of the flexible system without active damping was completed and comparisons between the analytical and the experimental results are presented for simple proportional-derivative (PD) control using the main body singular position and rate
