This monograph is intended to provide a snapshot of the status and
opportunities for advan cement in the technologies of dynamics and
control oflarge flexible spacecraft structures. It is a reflection
ofthe serious dialog and assessments going on all over the world,
across a wide variety of scientific and technical disciplines, as
we contemplate the next major milestone in mankind's romance with
space: the transition from exploration and experimentation to
commercial and defense exploitation. This exploitation is already
in full swing in the space communications area. Both military and
civilian objectives are being pursued with increasingly more
sophisticated systems such as large antenna reflectors with active
shape control. Both the NATO and Warsaw pact alliances are pursuing
permanent space stations in orbit: large structural systems whose
development calls for in-situ fabrication and/or assembly and whose
operation will demand innovations in controls technology. The last
ten years have witnessed a fairly brisk research activity in the
dynamics and control oflarge space structures in orderto establish
a technology base forthe development of advanced spacecraft systems
envisioned for the future. They have spanned a wide spectrum of
activity from fundamental methods development to systems concept
studies and laboratory experimentation and demonstrations. Some
flight experiments have also been conducted for various purposes
such as the characterization of the space enviroment, durability of
materials and devices in that environment, assembly and repair
operations, and the dynamic behavior of flexible structures. It is
this last area that has prompted this monogram."
