The scan platform of the Galialan spacecraft is attached to a flexible stator structure that separates the actuator from the platform-mounted inartial sensor. A scheme to identify the flexible mode characteristics (frequency, damping, and modal coefficient) of the stator using flight data is presentevd. A frequency domain analysis approach is taken and the identified mode characteristics will be used for updating the scan platform controler parameters. The influence of structural flexibility to th s can controller design is explained and the constraints in experting the identification procedure in flight are discused. Computer simulation results of the identification scheme are presented. The scheme in further verified by DISCOS simulations, in conjunction witha full spacecraft dynamics model and the scan platform controllers.
