Abstract

A review of 1980s to early 2010s research supporting and documenting successful missions for on-orbit assembly of large space structures was conducted to bring together flexible space structure dynamics challenges and progress toward solutions. Research in this period focused on issues ranging from ground validation via unique test beds to in-space modal characterization and model adjustment. The phased assembly of the International Space Station (ISS), along with its evolving structural loads and dynamics, provides the central example, with ground and on-orbit tests of other systems providing contributing and contrasting examples of potential value for researchers facing today’s challenges.
