Dynamics of a large class of satellites with deploying flexible appendages

A general formulation is presented for the librational dynamics of satellites having an arbitrary number, type, and orientation of flexible appendages, each capable of deploying independently. In particular, the case of beam-type appendages deploying from a satellite in an arbitrary orbit is conside...
