Abstract :
The reaction control system (RCS) jets for the angular attitude control of Space Station Freedom (SSF) is discussed. After an overview of the RCS attitude control system the authors present an analysis of the pulsewidth modulation of the RCS controller. In addition, the limit cycle behavior is analyzed, and the control of SSF during reboost is described
