Pointing dynamics of gimbaled payloads on flexible spacecraft

Pointing dynamics of gimbaled payloads on flexible spacecraft

The transfer function from gimbal torque to the inertial pointing angle of a dynamic system composed of a rigid articulated body mounted through a frictionless gimbal on a flexible spacecraft is described. The transfer function is shown to be slightly modified by spacecraft flexibility. The results...

Zusammenfassung:The transfer function from gimbal torque to the inertial pointing angle of a dynamic system composed of a rigid articulated body mounted through a frictionless gimbal on a flexible spacecraft is described. The transfer function is shown to be slightly modified by spacecraft flexibility. The results of the analysis are useful in the design process. (AIAA)
