Structured H-Infinity and Modal Control Approaches on a Flexible Micro Satellite - A Comparison Analysis

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the reliability and resilience between modal control and H-infinity control in a meaningful way. To evaluate these theories in reallife applications, a flexible satellite that was developed at CNES is used. Linearized models of the satellite dynamics, actuators, sensors and estimators are integrated, and the proposed control methods are evaluated with mu-analysis.
