TL;DR: In this paper, a new technique for vibration suppression in large space structures is investigated in laboratory experiments on a thin cantilever beam, which makes use of generalized displacement measurements to accomplish vibration suppression.

TL;DR: The Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) as discussed by the authors is a NASA Small Explorer that is performing a survey of the sky in two ultraviolet bands, using a modified Ritchey-Chretien telescope with a 125 field of view, selectable imaging and objective-grism spectroscopic modes, and an innovative optical system with a thin-film multilayer dichroic beam splitter.
