Abstract

This paper presents preliminary numerical simulation results for autonomous neural control of the Ultra-Lightweight Imaging Technology Experiments (UltraLITE) Phase I test article. The UltraLITE Phase I test article is a precision deployable structure currently under development at the United States Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). Its purpose is to examine control and hardware integration issues related to large deployable sparse optical array spacecraft systems. In this paper, a multi-stage control architecture is examined which incorporates artificial neural networks for model inversion tracking control
