A FORMATION SCENARIO FOR THE DISK OF SATELLITES: ACCRETION OF SATELLITES DURING MERGERS [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 ABSTRACT The Disk of Satellites (DoS) observed in the Andromeda galaxy is a thin and extended group of satellites, nearly perpendicular to the disk plane, that share a common direction of rotation about the center of Andromeda. Although a DoS is also observed in the Milky Way galaxy, the prevalance of such structures in more distant ...

The formation of regular satellites [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2004 Most models of planet formation envisage that early protoplanets were encompassed by a dusty gaseous disc. A simulation of planet formation by the capture-theory model has shown the formation of such a disc and suggests that its mass was close to that of the protoplanet and that it was a few au in extent.

Optimal On-Orbit Inspection of Satellite Formation
Remote Sensing, 2022 In a formation-flying mission where multiple spacecraft must cooperate and maintain a prescribed relative separation, the early detection of possible anomalies is a primary requirement. This is possible, for example, by employing an inspector spacecraft whose aim is to monitor the condition of the formation members with an on-orbit inspection.

Dynamics and control of electromagnetic satellite formations [PDF]
2006 American Control Conference, 2006 Satellite formation flying is an enabling technology for many space missions, especially for space based telescopes. Electromagnetic formation flying (EMFF) is a novel concept that uses superconducting electromagnetic coils to provide forces and torques between different satellites in a formation.

Multistatic sar satellite formations: potentials and challenges [PDF]
Proceedings. 2005 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2005. IGARSS '05., 2005 This paper discusses the capabilities of multistatic SAR satellite configurations for different applications like high resolution DEM generation using multibaseline single-pass cross- track interferometry, 3-D vegetation mapping and layover solution with spaceborne SAR tomography, high resolution wide swath SAR imaging with sparse satellite arrays ...

Satellite Formation based on SDDF Method
Journal of Networks, 2014 The technology of satellite formation flying has being a research focus in flight application. The relative position and velocity between satellites are basic parameters to achieve the control of formation flight during the satellite formation flying mission.

Formation of Giant Planet Satellites [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2020 Abstract Recent analyses have shown that the concluding stages of giant planet formation are accompanied by the development of a large-scale meridional flow of gas inside the planetary Hill sphere. This circulation feeds a circumplanetary disk that viscously expels gaseous material back into the parent nebula, maintaining the system in a
