The minimum-fuel control problem is of special interest in various space systems. To date, solutions of minimum-fuel control problems have been feasible for relatively low-order systems. Space structures, however, are generally characterized by a larger number of degrees of freedom, so that minimum-fuel control of such systems requires a new approach. In the independent modal-space control (IMSC) method, the control laws are designed in the modal space for each mode independently. The minimum-fuel problem reduces to that of a set of independent second-order systems, so that minimum-fuel control is possible. This paper shows how the IMSC method can be used to control a space structure with a minimum amount of fuel. A numerical example is presented.
