Abstract - A parameter learning method is introduced and used to broaden the region of operability of the adaptive control system of a flexible space antenna. The learning system guise the selection of control parameters in a process leading to optimal system perfomance. The method is applicable to any system where performance depends on a number of adjustable parameters. A mathematical model is not necessary as the learning system can be used
whenever the performance can be measured via simulation or experiment.
