The capability for large angle slewing maneuvers with very demanding pointing accuracy and tracking speed is increasingly required for space-based systems. This is particularly the case for space-based directed energy beam pointing. A method is thus proposed in this paper for commanding general pointing and tracking maneuvers with automatic correction for slew-excited structural deformations. All existing rigid body multiaxial slewing algorithms and flexible body vibration damping algorithms can then be used simultaneously, without design iterations. In particular, an example is given of a retargeting maneuver with specified line-of-sight settling time and no torque saturation.
