This paper discusses the results of two studies which investigated the expected low frequency dynamic characteristics of conceptual Mars and lunar transportation nodes. Both concepts are based on evolution of the assembly-complete Space Station Freedom configuration by the addition of keels, booms, and modules. Finite-element models of the concepts were developed and a set of undamped modes and frequencies was computed below 2 Hz for each concept. The modes were used as basis vectors for modal analyses describing the dynamic response of the structures to typical reboost maneuvers. The reboost maneuvers had fairly complex loading characteristics since the reaction control system (RCS) jets used for the maneuvers were off-modulated to control pitch and yaw attitude. Interaction of the dynamic response of the structure with the closed-loop attitude control system is investigated for both concepts. The elastic response in the solar dynamic region is investigated to evaluate the severity of the dynamic environment, since the solar dynamic systems have stringent sunpointing requirements which must be maintained during the reboost maneuver.
