truss and a combiner. The interferometric baseline, measured as the distance between<br />

the centers of the two outermost collectors, is 36 meters. The collectors are evenly<br />

spaced along the baseline such that there are 12 meters between any two neighboring<br />

collectors. The plant model is built mainly in NASTRAN and is shown in its nominal<br />

configuration in Figure 6-2.<br />

It is comprised of NASTRAN beam elements (CBAR), concentrated masses (CONM2),<br />

plate elements (CQUAD8, CTRIA6) and rigid elements (RBAR, RBE2). The reader<br />

is referred to the NASTRAN documentation for more information on these finite el-<br />

ements [94]. The inputs to the plant are the six isolated RWA disturbances, three<br />

forces and three torques. The plant outputs are three OPD metrics from the interfer-<br />

ometer pairs and three angular rotations from the ACS sensor. The structural mass<br />

breakdown of the plant model is given in Table 6.2. The masses listed are based on<br />

current best estimates from JPL, and the total structural mass is 2679 kg.<br />

Truss<br />

The main structural component of the TPF model is the supporting truss. The origin<br />

of the spacecraft frame is at the center of the truss so that the truss is broken into<br />
