Flight opreation of numerous spacecraft over the years has clearly demonstrated the inherant coupling between the vehicle structure and its control system. Even early missions, such as Explorer I, have experienced this coupling phenomenon. More recent and vivid examples are the Hubble Telescope and the Upper Atmospheric Research Satellite (UARS). In an effort to mitigate these problems and to aid the engineer in his task of achieving maximum performance from this design, even in the presence of structural flexibility, NASA has undertaken a program to provide the methodology for the optimal and integrated design of the vehicle structure and its control system. The analysis and design methodology developed is described. Anticipated performance gains to be realized from this methodology are demonstrated through computer simulation and supported by experimental validations of the design approach.
