Abstract	Ongoing research projects in aerospace guidance and control within the department were summarized. These included activities of Dr. Sanjay Joshi and Dr. Hess. Dr. Joshi’s projects deal with (a) multiple rover control for planetary exploration, (b) airship dynamics and control for planetary exploration, and (c) attitude control of flexible spacecraft. The latter two projects are being conducted in cooperation with NASA/JPL, and the Dept. of Mechanical and Astronautical Engineering at the Naval Postgraduate School, respectively. Dr. Hess’ projects deal with (a) robust control of micro-air vehicles, investigation of rudder inceptor force/feel characteristics in transport aircraft, and investigation of the crash of American Airlines Flight 587. The projects are being conducted in cooperation with NASA Ames, the FAA Tech Center, and the NTSB, respectively.
