Studies of the dynamics and control of flexible space structures are complicated by the distributed-parameter nature (partial differential equations) of the fundamental description. Rather than introduce lumped (finite-dimensional) approximations at the outset, it is proposed to use modern mathematical formulations to develop state-space models that retain this distributed-parameter nature. A practical prototype structure is suggested for study.
