A comprehensive program to develop the required control technology was started at Rockwell International's Space Division. A few of the concepts under consideration for attitude, figure, and vibration control of large, flexible space systems are highlighted. In addition, an overview of the Space Division's independent research and development (IR&D) is presented. The direction of the IR&D program was influenced by requirements for electro-optical systems, shuttle erectable structures and satellite power stations.
