The requirement to develop a space based remote ocean
sensing platform exists within the Department of the Navy.
This project models a satellite subsystem with structural
flexibility utilizing the Equivalent Rigid Link System
(ERLS) . Dynamic analysis with computer simulation is
presented for a simple flexible boom rotating in three
dimensions with and without a point mass at the boom tip.
