Dynamic isolation of a spacecraft science platform via momentum compensationThe dynamic isolation of a two degree of freedom inertially stabilized science platform from the spacecrft basebody is examined. The important implications of a momentum compensated platform for pointing performance and cost are discussed, and the concept of a new system called the Integrated Platform Pointing and Attitude Control Subsystem utilizing the above property is presented. The results established in this paper are demonstrated by a computer simulation.
