01 / THE PRINCIPLE

What this assembly is supposed to do

Reaction-control hardware, distributed torquers, isolation assemblies and digital feedback may counter mechanical disturbances and maintain optical alignment across a very long hull.

02 / CONNECTIONS AND BOUNDARIES

How it fits the engine

Control authority, response times and failure probabilities are not calculated. This view must be integrated with propulsion disturbances and the sensor network.

OPEN VALIDATION QUESTION

What control loop remains stable under realistic inertia, structural flex, sensor delays and exhaust disturbances?
