The objective of this activity is twofold: the first objective is to investigate the applicability of two different modern robust techniques for attitude control of flexible spacecraft. The second objective is to create a software framework that allows analysis, modelling, and design of the Attitude Guidance and Control system for flexible spacecraft. This activity shall specifically address potential new scientific missions, where large appendages and sloshing effects need to be controlled with demanding pointing accuracy.
