Spacecraft rendezvous by differential drag under uncertainties [PDF]
, 2016 At low Earth orbits, differentials in the drag forces between spacecraft can be used for controlling their relative motion in the orbital plane. Current methods for determining the drag force may result in errors due to inaccuracies in the density models
