    Description: The Skylab attitude and pointing control system (APCS) requirements are briefly reviewed and the way in which they became altered during the prelaunch phase of development is noted. The actual flight mission (including mission alterations during flight) is described. The serious hardware failures that occurred, beginning during ascent through the atmosphere, also are described. The APCS's ability to overcome these failures and meet mission changes are presented. The large around-the-clock support effort on the ground is discussed. Salient design points and software flexibility that should afford pertinent experience for future spacecraft attitude and pointing control system designs are included.

    Description: The objective of this investigation is to determine the equations of motion governing the attitude of a tethered satellite and subsequently to gain insight toward obtaining an appropriate control law. This study relates the coupling of the rotational dynamics of the satellite with the dynamical system of the Orbiter already constructed. In particular, a simplified approach is utilized to describe the satellite as constrained to planar motion. Modifications to the existing tethered satellite trajectory simulation provide a conceptual study of the satellite's behavior and its effect on the overall system.

    Description: Plans for proposed flight of the Small Expendable-tether Deployer System (SEDS) on a Delta II launch vehicle are discussed. The SEDS tether concept and mission requirements are outlined. Results are presented from calculations of the tether dynamics and computer modeling to determine tether behavior. The tether's thermal characteristics, electronics system, material, data collection procedure, payload, and orbital trace are described.

    Description: The dynamics of the Shuttle Tethered Satellite System are influenced by attaching the tether at some point other than the center-of-masses of the Shuttle and the subsatellite. At the Shuttle, the tether attachment is made at the end of a boom deployed out of the payload bay. This attachment noticeably affects retrieval dynamics of the satellite pendulous motion. At the satellite, the tether attachment is assumed to be made on the circumference of the satellite. This attachment greatly affects the attitude motion of the satellite about its own center-of-mass. Computer simulation results are presented showing the effects of the Shuttle boom in a three-dimensional model and the effects of satellite attachment in a planar model.
