For near-polar orbit satellite constellations with multiple orbital planes, the reconfiguration
control of orbital planes is required, whether for multi-planar deployment during one rocket …

The tremendous number of satellites in mega constellations brings challenges to failure
satellite replacement and deorbiting. This paper focuses on autonomous replacement and …

This paper addresses the fuel-optimal satellite formation reconfiguration problem with
continuous low-thrust control. Based on the relative eccentricity and inclination (E/I) theory, a …

With the advancement of satellite remote sensing technologies, constellations are now
employed as monitoring agents for designated areas. Nevertheless, multiple emergencies …

This paper presents a method of controlling a constellation of small satellites in
Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) such that the constellation is able to reconfigure-changing …

Purpose–This paper aims to provide a new method to design a fuel efficient control strategy
such as J2 perturbation for deploying a constellation into a specified configuration. The …

In this paper, a general new methodology is presented for the orbital reconfiguration of
satellite constellations on the basis of Lambert targeting theorem. In view of the cost and risk …

Micro/nano satellites have become the protagonists in most formation flying missions
currently, there is an urgent demand to find an approach to quickly calculate multiple …

An optimal formation reconfiguration method under the constraints of a satellite attitude with
respect to an inertial frame is addressed. Both the satellite position and attitude are …

IN THIS Note, we consider a class of orbit transfer problems that involve correction of a large
difference in the right ascension of the ascending node (RAAN) but small differences in the …
