In this article, we propose a recursive orbital elements filter for autonomous control of
Distributed Satellite Systems (DSS) that significantly reduces the variance of relative orbital …

Abstract Distributed Satellite Systems (DSS) require new advanced navigation and control
functionalities to meet the ever more stringent mission requirements of Earth Observation …

A robust multi-baseline along-track interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) formation
flying concept is proposed to combine effectively several along-track baseline observations …

Current navigation and control technologies are used to perform a feasibility analysis of
continuous and semi-continuous orbit control. In particular, a strategy based on filtered …

ABSTRACT Microcosm, under Air Force Research Laboratory (Space Vehicles Directorate)
and internal funding, developed and flew the first fully autonomous, on-board orbit …

Satellites clusters for Earth observation purposes entail precise orbit monitoring and control
to satisfy application needs efficiently. Fast technological progress in GNSS receivers …

Earth-observation satellites carrying synthetic aperture radar instruments have stringent
requirements on control of Earth-referenced repeat-track orbits. This precision control leads …

We propose a model predictive control (MPC) policy for simultaneous station keeping,
attitude control, and momentum management of a low-thrust nadir-pointing geostationary …

This paper proposes a continuous low-thrust guidance and control strategy for constrained
satellite formation-flying in perturbed orbits of arbitrary eccentricity. The controller feeds back …
