Abstract :
Problems of antenna pointing for a space solar power station for energy transmission by using microwave beam are considered. Interference between attitude control system of station and antenna pointing system is investigated. The influence of design data, including structure flexibility on antenna dynamics is studied. The influence of various errors on total error of antenna pointing is estimated.
