Dynamic reconstruction and multivariable control for force-actuated, thin facetsheet adaptive optics (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Satellite formation flying is an enabling technology for many space missions, especially for space-based telescopes. Usually there is a tight formation-keeping requirement that may need constant expenditure of fuel or at ...
