“…Station‐keeping capabilities such as those developed for XEUS can also be applied to space telescopes to maintain high pointing accuracy and improve stability to drift (Delamere et al 1983). Most space observatories tend to be integrated into the spacecraft structure rather than employing independent instrument gimballing, imposing the requirement for high‐precision attitude control system capabilities.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
