The overall objective of this program was the development of control algorithms that allow the concurrent operation of slewing, pointing, vibration, and shape control subsystems. This objective is important for near-term space surveillance missions that require the rapid retargeting and precise pointing of large flexible satellites. The success of these missions requires the design and concurrent operation of the various interacting control subsystems. There were two phases conducted: phase 1 was mathematical model development, and phase 2 was control development. The program is detailed and major conclusions given.
