Control system designs for the shuttle infrared telescope facility

J. David Powell, Eric K. Parsons, Kenneth R. Lorell

Abstract

The Shuttle Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) image motion compensation system is described in detail and performance is analyzed with respect to system noise inputs, environmental disturbances, and error sources such as bending and feedforward scale factor. It is concluded that the SIRTF accuracy and stability requirements can be met with this design.
