Descriptions
This is a three-year, $345K sponsored research agreement involving the BlueWalker 3 and Blue Bird constellations. The work involves developing analytical and computational models, building a fundamental feedback control system, and writing initial software for on-orbit Flight Software. In addition, there will be an examination of advanced control techniques, including the capability of sensors and actuators for use on a large-extent spacecraft to control a dynamic structure, then proposing and examining advanced closed-loop control options.
