The Spacecraft Control Laboratory Experiment (SCOLE) will allow direct experimental comparison of competing control schemes for large flexible spacecraft structures. The experiment was designed to emulate the essential characteristics of a mathematical model design challenge which represents a Space Shuttle with a flexible mast and antenna attached. This experiment represents the third in a series of three flexible structure control experiments used by the Flight Dynamics and Control Division at LaRC. The key problem addressed by the facility is that flexible motion of the mast and antenna must be considered in the slewing and pointing control problems.
