| Description | A test facility was designed and built for conducting complete dynamic systems tests of the OAO spacecraft. The operating principle of the facility is illustrated for a single control axis. The test facility is described which was built and used to test the stabilization and control system of the OAO B spacecraft. Fine pointing of the spacecraft was demonstrated to better than 0.5 seconds of arc. Other spacecraft functions tested were gimbaled and boresight star tracker operations, coarse and fine slew maneuvers, inertial guidance operation, settling time of the spacecraft control system, and transfers between all modes of control. |
