Distributed coordination and control of formation flying spacecraft [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2003 American Control Conference, 2003., 2004 Formation flying is a key technology for many planned space missions that will use multiple spacecraft to perform distributed observations. This paper extends pro vious work on the design of a highly distributed formation flying control system that uses linear programming to determine minimum fuel trajectories for the spacecraft to remain within some ...
