A hardware demonstration of distributed control for a flexible offset-feed antennaA fully instrumented hardware model of a flexible offset-feed antenna has been constructed for laboratory tests. Three rate gyros, four angular position laser sensors, and a set of ten distributed accelerometers are used to rconstruct the antenna state. Three control moment gyros are used to simultaneously orient the antenna, and to maintain a stable line of sight. A description is presented of the distributed antenna control system and experimental results.
