Results from an investigation of the dynamic behavior of a 300 kW class solar dynamic powered, dual kell space station are presented. The purpose of the investigation was to determine and assess the influence of space station truss bay size on station controllability during rigid body attitude adjustment and orbit reboost maneuvers. The dual keel space station concept is defined and two finite element models (one which has a truss bay size of 5m and another with a truss bay size of 9 feet) are described. Rigid and flexible body characteristics of the two space station models are also presented. Finally, results from a transient response analysis, where the stations are subjected to an orbit reboost maneuver, are summarized.
