The objective of this paper is to conduct experiments in fuel optimal propulsive maneuvers of flexible spacecraft in order to verify and extend recently developed theory and apply it to various classes of spacecraft. Topics covered in viewgraph format include: impulse damping control by experimental verification; impulse damping of the SCOLE reflector and mast; fuel optimal control of rotating flexible beam; fuel optimal aerobrake maneuvers.
