Satellite formations, otherwise known in the space community as satellite clusters or distributed satellite systems, have been studied extensively over the last 10 to 15 years. For use in remote sensing applications, formations consisting of smaller, simpler satellites provide numerous advantages over individual satellites. The image resolution capabilities of small-satellite formations constitute a significant technological leap in the ability to synthesize critical information.

Produktbeschreibung
Satellite formations, otherwise known in the space community as satellite clusters or distributed satellite systems, have been studied extensively over the last 10 to 15 years. For use in remote sensing applications, formations consisting of smaller, simpler satellites provide numerous advantages over individual satellites. The image resolution capabilities of small-satellite formations constitute a significant technological leap in the ability to synthesize critical information. This research utilizes the nonlinear satellite dynamics, including gravitational perturbations, to search for the optimal fuel cost for maintaining a circular formation. The system dynamics were developed in an earth-centered inertial coordinate frame using the methods of Hamiltonian dynamics.
