Development of dynamics models & control system design for third generation spacecraft : (executive summary) / author: P.C. Hughes ; prepared by: Dynacon Enterprises Ltd. : Co24-3/1-82-056E-PDF

"The Space Mechanics Directorate and the other cognizant technical groups within the Department of Communications (DOC) have correctly identified flexible spacecraft control as a key technology area for the foreseeable future. The economics of placing structures in Earth orbit require lightweight structures; the technology specifications of future communications satellites demand more accurate pointing, configurational integrity, and even control of the detailed 'shape' or 'figure'. Together, these two trends make evident that the dynamical modeling and control system design for communications satellites will continue to be the subject of advanced technology effort in the decades ahead"--Introduction, page 1.
