In this paper, the dynamics of three-dimensional, large-angle arbitrary slew maneuvers of a large flexible spacecraft are developed. The dynamical equations obtained allow maneuver specifications about any axis and are highly nonlinear. They also include coupling between the rigid orbiter and the flexible appendage and correction for motion stiffness. A decentralized control scheme is utilized for performing the maneuver of the rigidized body and for vibration suppression of the flexible appendage. The method developed in this paper is further applied to NASA Spacecraft Control Laboratory Experiment (SCOLE) test facility.
