An observer based distributed controller for formation flying of satellites [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2011 American Control Conference, 2011 In this paper, a novel nonlinear observer and controller framework is suggested for achieving formation control of a cluster of satellites. Exploiting the skew symmetry in the satellite dynamics, a novel nonlinear observer which has roots in the super-twist sliding mode observer is proposed.

HYBRID CONSTRAINED FORMATION FLYING CONTROL OF MICRO-SATELLITES
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2006 Abstract This paper proposes a centralized solution to the problem of formation reconfiguration and keeping for fleets of satellites in the presence of persistent disturbances and under input-saturation and formation accuracy constraints. Relative position and attitude dynamics are considered.
