What is Guidance and control - II : a selection of technical papers based mainly on the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Guidance and Control Conference held at Cambridge, Massachusetts, August 12-14, 1963 about?

Past attempts in establishing the state of the art in spacecraft attitude control have concentrated on cataloguing various satellites in terms of their mission objectives and design features, or on describing specific hardware developments. The discussions in this paper are developed along the lines of "what is common" rather than "what is different" with the idea that seemingly -unrelated efforts in this new technology can be put in their proper perspective, and that some unresolved problems can be defined. To achieve this objective, first the control system requirements (from a performance rather than a mission point of view) and the implications of such requirements in terms of control system design are discussed. Second, specific attitude control approaches and the associated performance or implementation problems, or both, are considered in "Conceptual Design," and some of the theoretical problems are discussed in "Analytical Design." Finally, the question of "Ground Test Techniques" for space vehicles is treated qualitatively since this subject has received relatively little attention in the literature in spite of its technological importance.
