Various possible systems are examined for suitability and 3, which appear more promising, are analyzed using Orbiting Astronomical Observatory as example; system which uses error rate network to provide damping is superior to other two; dynamic tracking error of less than plus or minus 0.5 sec of arc was obtained.
