Modeling and control of flexible space structures using neural networks

The authors present some preliminary studies in the field of on-orbit modeling and intelligent control technique for flexible space structures using the neutral network approach. The discussions include the state of the art in three areas: (i) on-orbit learning modeling of flexible dynamics using neutral networks, (ii) neutral learning and a control scheme for flexible space structures, and (iii) the setting up of an experiment for the implementing neural learning modeling and control for flexible structures on the ground.
