The ability to fly satellites in close formations represents a capability that could revolutionize the way satellite missions are designed in the future. This study examines three of the primary formation flying designs and characterizes the affect that an anomalous satellite with a slightly different cross-sectional area would have on the stability of the formation. Following the characterization of the effects, a controller is implemented to mitigate the cross-sectional area differences between the satellites. With the addition of a straightforward controller, small cross-sectional area diff...
The ability to fly satellites in close formations represents a capability that could revolutionize the way satellite missions are designed in the future. This study examines three of the primary formation flying designs and characterizes the affect that an anomalous satellite with a slightly different cross-sectional area would have on the stability of the formation. Following the characterization of the effects, a controller is implemented to mitigate the cross-sectional area differences between the satellites. With the addition of a straightforward controller, small cross-sectional area differences can be mitigated and corrected such that the satellites will remain in close proximity and in some cases the formation will remain stable.
