Dynamic model of a three axis stabilized geostationary satellite with flexible solar arrays in normal operation
Abstract
The equations of motion were derived from the total system energy by application of Lagrange's method. Structural flexibility was introduced into the system equations in a hybrid coordinate formulation, i.e., a combination of discrete and distributed (modal) coordinates. Some simulation results of the whole system using a digital computer numerical integration are shown.
