An adaptive learning pigeon-inspired optimization based on mutation disturbance (ALPIO) is
proposed for solving the problems of fuel consumption and threat avoidance in spacecraft …

This paper presents an optimal control method for consensus of satellite cluster flight under
a kind of energy matching condition. Firstly, the relation between energy matching and …

Active debris removal (ADR), on-orbit servicing and in-space assembly likely require
proximity operations and soft docking between two or more satellites. These operations can …

A means for reducing the risk for an on-orbit robotic servicing and assembly mission through
the development of a series of testbeds that build successively upon one another is …

In recent years, several space systems consisting of multiple satellites flying in close
formation have been proposed for various purposes such as interferometric synthetic …

For autonomous cluster flight of fractionated spacecraft, planning and task allocation are
important as they bridge the gap between the top-level layer (interpreting inputs from the …

In this paper, an optimal orbit design and control method for satellite clusters is presented
and the method is applied to the four pico/nano-satellite system NetSat. Firstly, the relative …

Spacecraft cluster flight, which is a novel multi-spacecraft flight mode, has become an
important research direction of distributed space system for the future, especially has unique …
