Abstract:
This document reports the achievement of Terrestrial Planet Finder Interferometer (TPF-I) Technology Milestone #2, a ground-based, system-level demonstration of twospacecraft formation synchronized rotation. We review the milestone specification from the Milestone White Paper (May 25, 2007), summarize the experiments performed in the Formation Control Testbed (FCT), detail the procedures and nalysis of the resulting data, and describe and present the data itself.
