Description | The Space Telescope pointing control system is designed to meet the fine pointing performance of 0.007 arc-sec stability, maneuver the telescope 90 deg in 18 min, or less, and provide the capability for deployment from, and retrieval by, the space shuttle. The pointing control system objectives are met using fine guidance sensors for attitude information, reaction wheel assemblies sized to provide both the torque required for pointing, and magnetometers and magnetic torquers for momentum management. A digital computer is used to calculate the control law, attitude reference, momentum management law, and command generator. The command generator shapes the acceleration and incremental angle commands to the control system to limit structural mode excitation. The control techniques are briefly discussed. |
