Abstract
An updated version of the Active Control of Space Structure (ACOSS) Evaluation Model, ACOSS Model 2, has been designed and analyzed. This updated model reflects the need for closer correlation between model performance and actual system performance at the cost of increased model complexity. Using this updated model, two additional models have been created to fulfill the needs of the VCOSS program. The first VCOSS model is a minimum mass, flexible design. A vibration control system including hardware specifications will be designed for this model. This design will be compared with that based on the second VCOSS model. This model is a maximum mass, stiffness controlled design. The purpose of this design is to reduce control system requirements by stiffening the structure in order to raise critical modal frequencies. The MSC/NASTRAM finite element models for all three designs are listed in the appendices. (Author)Keywords
