AbstractThe MiniSTEP drag-free control system must reduce the atmospheric drag forces acting on the spacecraft by seven orders of magnitude, to yield an average residual acceleration of less than 3·10−14 m s−2 averaged over the measurement bandwidth. The origins of the drag-free requirements are discussed, and a control system is presented which meets the requirements under realistic assumptions for noise levels.
