Keywords: Genetic algorithm, satellite, multidisciplinary optimization, payload mass, vibration

In this study the Genetic Algorithm (GA) design optimization methodology is used for simultaneous weight and vibration transmission reduction of a satellite boom structure. Here, the length of the truss links are considered as the design optimization parameters and a specifically GA code is developed for performing the analysis
