A perturbation approach to control of rotational/translational maneuvers of flexible space vehicles

An open loop control law is applied to a flexible spacecraft that admits translational, as well as rotational and flexural motion. The translational degrees of freedom are coupled to the rotation and deformation through the active controls applied to the structure. The objective of any maneuver...
