Abstract :
A decentralized approach is considered for developing the solution of the motion control problem of Large Flexible Space Structures. A minimum state error variance control philosophy has been used to develop a decentralized state feedback controller that minimizes a single-step quadratic performance index at each control location. The resulting controller uses a decentralized Kalman predictor and it is relatively simple to implement.
