  • Abstract
    Bounds on the response of the roll axis motion of an inertially oriented space station are obtained using the tracking function method. The use of a single complicated Lyapunov function is replaced by consideration of a number of very simple functions and the analysis is simplified and enhanced. Indication is given of how to apply the method to the motion about other axes.
