Abstract
The uncertainties inherent in the dynamics of flexible space-
craft make robustness questions very important when design-
ing vibration suppression systems for these vehicles. This often
leads to the use of sensors and actuators which are collocated on
the structure, so as to avoid the potentially destabilizing prob-
