Abstract
The 0.1 Hz fundamental structural frequency anticipated for the large solar array panels required to power manned space stations is close to the attitude control system bandwidth, and within the bandwidth of crew motion disturbances. Attention is presently given to a detachment of the solar panel system to create a free-flying powerplant for the space station, and to the control system that will maintain its attitude and position relative to the space station by means of thrusters that are supplied with space station state data by a laser/optical sensor system. Power transmission alternatives for this free-flying power system are discussed.
