The usefulness of open loop model order reduction techniques for application of flexible spacecraft dynamics models was assessed. Approaches identified involve parameter optimization; aggregation; singular perturbation; modal dominance; component cost analysis; and internal balancing. The latter three approaches appear to be most meaningful, and convenient in applications. The problem of model order reduction is reviewed, and each of the six approaches is discussed. The latter three approaches are applied to the case of a long, flexible beam in space, controlled with two line torquers.
