Solar sail formation flying for deep-space remote sensing [PDF]
, 2009 In this paper we consider how 'near' term solar sails can be used in formation above the ecliptic plane to provide platforms for accurate and continuous remote sensing of the polar regions of the Earth.

Animation of Flocks Flying in Line Formations [PDF]
Artificial Life, 2011 We provide a biologically motivated technique for modeling and animating bird flocks in flight, which produces plausible and realistic-looking flock animations. While most previous approaches have focused on animating cluster formations, this article introduces a technique for animating flocks that fly in certain patterns, so-called line formations. We

Nanosat Formation Flying Design for SNIPE Mission
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020 This study designs and analyzes satellite formation flying concepts for the Small scale magNetospheric and Ionospheric Plasma Experiments (SNIPE) mission, that will observe the near-Earth space environment using four nanosats. To meet the requirements to

TanDEM-X: 10 Years of Formation Flying Bistatic SAR Interferometry
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021 On June 21, 2010, the TanDEM-X mission was launched and opened a new era in spaceborne radar remote sensing. The first formation flying radar system was built by extending the TerraSAR-X synthetic aperture radar (SAR) mission by a second, TerraSAR-X-like

Dynamics and Control of Satellite Formations Invariant under the Zonal Harmonic Perturbation
Applied Sciences, 2023 A satellite formation operating in low-altitude orbits is subject to perturbations associated to the higher-order harmonics of the gravitational field, which cause a degradation of the formation configurations designed based on the unperturbed model of ...
