Design of the scan platform control for the Galileo spacecraft is presented. Emphasis is placed on the inertial pointing of the scan platform when the spacecraft is in the dual-spin configuration. The various methods of operation used for Galileo scan pointing are outlined. Major design considerations, such as spacecraft flexibility and separation of actuator and sensor by a flexible structure, are discussed. The pointing requirements imposed on the scan platform control are explained. A high-level description of the relevant scan pointing algorithms is included. The performance of the design is demonstrated by a sample slew test case.
