NASA has identified the need for large deployable space structures which
will be constructed of lightweight materials and will contain large numbers
of joints or structural connections. This need is evident for programs such
as space station. These deployable space structures may have precision
shape requirements and a need for vibration suppression during in-orbit
operations. One such structure is the mast flight system which is shown in
Figure 1(a). The intent of the system is to provide an experimental test bed
for controls and dynamics. The basic element in the mast flight system is
a 60.7 m long truss beam structure, which is attached to the shuttle
orbiter. Included at the tip of the truss structure are the primary actuators
and collocated sensors.
A deployment/retraction subsystem, which also secures the stowed beam
package during launch and landing is provided. The system uses a large
motor to move the structure and has the block diagram shown in Figure
1(b). Design lead and/or lag controllers using the Root Locus or Frequency
Response methods so that the system overshoot for a step input is less
than 10%, the settling time is less than 3 seconds. Using MATLAB, show
the performance of the compensated system. Discuss the characteristics
of the designed controller.
