To repair satellites and the hubble telescope

Reference no: EM131127984

The space shuttle has been used to repair satellites and the Hubble telescope. Figure P8.16 illustrates how a crew member, with his feet strapped to the platform on the end of the shuttle's robotic arm used his arms to stop the satellite's spin. The control system of the robotic arm has a closed-loop transfer function.

(a) Determine the response y(t) to a unit step input, R(s) = 1/s. (b) Determine the bandwidth of the system.
