The development of this technology is essential to the efficient and confident development of future spacecraft to meet stringent goals in performance and cost. Both NASA and Do D have programs in CSI, structural dynamics, and controls. The activities of these programs provide a systematic approach to address technology voids through development and validation of analytical tools, extensive ground testing of representative structures, and future in-space experiments for verification of analysis and ground test methods. In order to promote timely dissemination of technical information acquired in these programs, the NASA Langley Research Center and the Wright Laboratory alternately sponsor a conference to report to industry, academia, and government agencies on the current status of controls-structures interaction technology.
