This document overviews the work I completed in the second half of my summer 2018 internship experience in Code 591 at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Please see the former memorandum for additional context on the project. The take away point is that LUVOIR A has been modeled as three rigid bodies linked by 1-DOF rotary joints. An LQR attitude controller was designed for precision pointing of the spacecraft with the design requirement that steady state oscillations have amplitude less than a miliarcsecond. The performance of the algorithm was tested in the Modular Dynamic Analysis Simulink library developed by J. Roger Chen at NASA Goddard. While the initial simulations were of rigid bodies, subsequent simulations included flexible body modes on all three bodies of the model. The simulated structural deformations initially destabilized the LQR controller thus requiring a redesign of the K gain matrix. The final simulation demonstrated a stabilizing feedback gain with miliarcsecond precision within 400 minutes. This run used 20 modes on the spacecraft, 9 on the bus, and 100 on the payload. Future recommended work includes the development of a Vibration Isolation and Precision Pointing System (VIPPS) Simulink model. Armed with this model, the system should be modeled as four bodies whose associated flexible files must be generated from the spacecraft through Gimbal 1, Gimbal 1 through Gimbal 2, Gimbal 2 through the VIPPS interface, and the VIPPS interface through the payload.
