Active Control of a Large Space Structure as Applied to the Phase 1 CETF (Critical Evaluation Task Force) Space Station

摘要

The major objective of this thesis is to apply a decoupled control technique to a specific space station model. The model is a finite element model of the Phase 1 Critical Evaluation Task Force (CETF) Space Station. The control technique allows for the active control of a large number of modes by using several decoupled controllers. The space station attitude control system provides attitude stabilization and disturbance rejection. Its performance is evaluated by the station's response to two disturbances - crew motion and shuttle docking. Theses. (FR)
