The problem of maneuvering a flexible spacecraft through a large angle while requiring the feedback control system to track a desired output state is considered. The desired output state is assumed to be provided by the corresponding open-loop maneuvering solution for the linear system model. Closed form solutions are provided for the Riccati and prefilter equations defining the optimal control. Example maneuvers are presented where control-rate penalties have been included in the performance index, in order to smooth both the open- and closed-loop control commands.
