Abstract:
As Mariner 10 approached Venus encounter, an uncontrolled oscillation occurred due to spacecraft structural interaction with the Attitude Control Subsystem. The result was a severe consumption of control gas that would have caused failure of the mission had it continued. The recommendations center on design and operational measures to cope with subtle and complex dynamical interactions between the spacecraft structure and the ACS.
