The present state of knowledge in the field of dynamics of flexible spacecraft is summarized. The word dynamics include deployment dynamics, stability of spin, response to attitude control torques, response to external disturbances, etc. The mathematical tools, analytical and numerical, which have been used to treat these problems are presented in detail and are critically compared with respect to their practical advantages and disadvantages.
