What is it about?

Microgravity Active vibration Isolation System is designed to isolate disturbances from a spacecraft and provide high-level microgravity environment for science experiment payloads. In this article, this system is introduced from the perspective of dynamics and control, by presenting an overview of the hardware system, including basic structure, measurement devices, and control actuators. The system dynamics, measurement models, and control laws of the device are then discussed, followed by the results of computer simulation and engineering tests.
