The dynamics and control of slewing maneuvers of a large flexible spacecraft, namely, NASA Spacecraft Control Laboratory Experiment (SCOLE) test article are studied. The dynamical equations obtained for slewing maneuvers are highly nonlinear and coupled. The maneuver is expressed in terms of four Euler parameters and is specified as the angular displacement about an arbitrary axis. The slew maneuver control problem is developed in terms of rigid-body slewing and suppression of two elastic modes is analyzed using the method of nonlinear decoupling.
