Abstract

Long term diffraction limited observations in the solar system require line of sight accuracies in the 0.01 arcsec regime and closed loop on object tracking capabilities. To overcome most of the problems related to the verification of a reference system utilizing high precision gyros, a control system based on image motion control and a pure optical inertial reference system was investigated. The performance of the proposed control system was evaluated via nonlinear simulations.
