This viewgraph presentation presents an algorithm for trajectory control of a spacecraft that minimizes the time to perform slews, including settling, by avoiding reaction wheel torque and momentum limits that would excite flexible structural modes. This algorithm was validated by simulation during the design of the NGST 'Yardstick' (precursor to JWST). Performance verification of a reduced form for single-axis slews was carried out using the MIT Origins Testbed. It is currently baselined for use by TPF-Coronagraph.
