Abstract :
The purpose of the paper is to present main results about design and simulation of an attitude orbit controller for a solar sail spacecraft with large flimsy appendages. The presence of a large number of uncertain flexible modes makes this problem suited for a robust control design based on quantitative feedback theory.
