  This paper presents a tool, PELIB, developed in MATLAB /SIMULINK environment
to perform pointing performance analysis based on European pointing standards.
PELIB is designed as an extension of the Satellite Dynamics Toolbox (SDT),
which derives the Linear Fractional Transformation (LFT) models of flexible
space structures. The addition of PELIB will allow the users of SDT to perform
pointing performance analysis of real mission scenarios in the same environment
used for control synthesis. PELIB offers as well the possibility to take into
account uncertainties in the system. This feature represents an enhancement to
the current verification tools available in the European space industry
community by providing the worst-case pointing budget. The capabilities of
PELIB were demonstrated in a case study involving a spacecraft model with two
flexible solar arrays. Several error sources, as well as uncertain parameters,
were included in this model. The nominal performance has been investigated
using PELIB and compared with the current European reference tool. The
worst-case performance is also investigated with the new feature of PELIB to
obtain the worst-case performance budget
