System engineering for spaceborne optical interferometers
This paper is based on a collection of lessons-learned based on related missions including StarLight, a formation-flying stellar interferometry mission that merged with the Terrestrial Planet Finder technology development program just prior to entering phase C/D, the Space Interferometry Mission (currently in phase A), and the Shuttle Radar Topography Misssion of 2000.

Evaluation of Mode Shape Expansion Techniquies on the Micro-Precision Interferometer Truss
Several methods for mode shape expansion are investigated. In the first, the dynamic equations of motions are used to obtain direct solutions to the expanded eigenvectors. It is shown that these methods can be interpreted as constrained optimization problems.
