Time optimal slewing of flexible spacecraft

The time optimal slewing problem for flexible spacecraft is considered. We study single-axis rotational maneuvers for a simple flexible system, consisting of a rigid hub with an elastic appendage. The equations of motions are derived by Hamilton’s Principle, and a discrete nonlinear model is obtaine...
