Improvement of technology of space systems control is discussed. Future space systems such as large antennas or a space station may have dimensions on the order of 30 m to 200 m, yet their basic structures may be relatively lightweight and flexible, making ground tests for loads, controls analyses, and design verifications questionable if not impossible. Abandoning the extensive ground test and analysis verification program that led to the success of previous spacecraft is not a sensible option; making it meaningful using current technology will require inefficient, ultraconservative structure and control designs. New test methods are outlined.
