This study presents the integrated control/structure design of a Large Flexible Structure, the Extra Long Mast Observatory (ELMO). The integrated design is performed using structured H∞ control tools, developing the Two-Input Two-Output Port (TITOP) model of the flexible multi-body structure and imposing integrated design specifications as H∞ constraints. The integrated control/structure design for ELMO consists of optimizing simultaneously its payload mass and control system for low-frequency perturbation rejection respecting bandwidth requirements.
