Applied aspects of cluster correction of small spacecraft
В статье рассматриваются прикладные аспекты по поддержанию требуемого пространственного положения малых космических аппаратов (МКА) в составе кластера. Исследуется структурная устойчивость кластера, состоящего из трёх МКА, обладающего баллистической структурой, которая обеспечивает решение общей целевой задачи совместного мониторинга заданных районов ...

Observations of the spatial and temporal structure of field-aligned beam and gyrating ring distributions at the quasi-perpendicular bow shock with Cluster CIS [PDF]
During the early orbit phase, the Cluster spacecraft have repeatedly crossed the perpendicular Earth’s bow shock and provided the first multi-spacecraft measurements. We have analyzed data from the Cluster Ion Spectrometry experiment (CIS), which

Artificial spacecraft in hybrid simulations of the quasi-parallel Earth's bow shock: analysis of time series versus spatial profiles and a separation strategy for Cluster [PDF]
We construct artificial "software" spacecraft consisting of magnetometers and 3D thermal and energetic ion detectors. Four such spacecraft are "flown" through a 1D simulation of a quasi-parallel shock. We analyze the resulting time
