Flexible robotic manipulator in space: towards a mathematical dynamics truth model

The objective of the study is to contribute towards the formulation of a mathematical truth model for the dynamics of a robotic manipulator which is attached to an orbiting spacecraft-manipulator system consisting of rigid constituent body is assumed to be known; here the generalization to the case of structurally flexible bodies is attempted....

Analysis of the perturbed motion of asymmetric, spinning spacecraft

The sttdy aims at a synthesis of the large body of literattire dealing with the analytical description of the perturbed motion of rigid, spinning spacecraft. The reader is familiarized with the various mathematical approaches to the problem. The class of restricted, perturbed motion is analyzed using the Poincarê asjrmptotic expansion procedxire...
