(50 pts) The system dynamics for a spacecraft platform is governed by the following dynamics:
d2dt2p(t)+2ddtp(t)+4p(t)=(t)
where p(t) is the actual spacecraft platform position and (t) is the control input thruster angle position. NASA commands a desired platform position r(t). The control amplifier on the spacecraft creates a voltage proportional to the difference between the desired and actual platform position, v(t)=r(t)-p(t). The thruster then responds to this error signal as ddt(t)=Kv(t). Draw a block diagram of the system. Solve for the characteristic equation governing the transient response from the desired position to the actual position.
