Spacecraft formation-flying using potential functions [PDF]
A group of small spacecraft able to change their relative position and attitude through the use of the potential function method is discussed. The spacecraft shapes, sizes and manoeuvring capabilities are not identical, although all are assumed to manoeuvre using continuous thrusters.

Low Thrust Augmented Spacecraft Formation-Flying [PDF]
Ballistic spacecraft formation-flying with zero thrust has great utility, but it is limited to\ud a comparatively small set of relative trajectories. However, through the application of continuous\ud low thrust, rich new families of formation-flying trajectories can be accessed.

Spacecraft formation flying in eccentric orbits
本稿では楕円軌道における宇宙機の編隊飛行制御について検討する。相対的なフォーメーション軌道において、楕円軌道と同じ対称性を仮定することによってフォーメーションの初期条件を導く。この初期条件から従宇宙機が主宇宙機の周りを少ない距離変動で周回するような軌道や、従宇宙機が局所水平面内で周回する軌道など、いくつかの特徴的な軌道を求めることができる。 Formation flight of spacecraft in eccentric orbits is considered in this paper.
