The present paper is concerned with control problems which arise in connection with the establishment and maintenance of space stations. Some of the arising problems are related to great changes in mass and an intensive shock load accompanying Shuttle docking. Such problems can be solved by making use of a robust adaptive control system. Space station configurations developed by NASA and the corresponding mass properties are discussed along with dynamic models for space stations, aspects of problem formulation and control architecture, adaptive control algorithms, a performance analysis, and practical considerations. Attention is given to adaptive regulator control with initial transient, adaptive control during Shuttle docking, and cases involving Shuttle hard docking with model switching and disturbance modeling.
