Energy cost analysis to station keeping for satellite formation type “TerraSAR-X - TanDEM-X”
RUDN Journal of Engineering Research, 2019 The maintenance of a given configuration of the satellite formation of the “TerraSAR-X - TanDEM-X” type is considered. It is assumed that the master satellite performs only maneuvers to maintain the working orbit, and the slave satellite performs ...

Novel virtual satellite formation scheme for deterministic transmission
Tongxin xuebao, 2023 Although satellite formation flying could effectively support deterministic transmission due to its stable formation, but its formation control required significant real-time computational overhead and did not support flexible deployment for multi ...

Dynamic Network Formation for FSO Satellite Communication
Applied Sciences, 2022 Satellite network optimization is essential, particularly since the cost of manufacturing, launching and maintaining each satellite is significant. Moreover, classical communication optimization methods, such as Minimal Spanning Tree, cannot be applied ...

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.

Tidal Truncation of Circumplanetary Disks Fails above a Critical Disk Aspect Ratio
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We use numerical simulations of circumplanetary disks to determine the boundary between disks that are radially truncated by the tidal potential and those where gas escapes the Hill sphere. We consider a model problem, in which a coplanar circumplanetary

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.

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
