Constellation configuration design is a prerequisite and critical step in the construction of a
mega-constellation system in low Earth orbit. However, the huge number of satellites and …

Coverage analysis is an essential process when designing a satellite constellation, and the
variations of global revisit characteristics are usually elusive in discontinuous coverage …

This work focuses on the study of the reconfiguration strategies available for uniformly
distributed satellite constellations and slotting architectures. Particularly, this paper deals …

Shell-wise orbital coordination in low Earth orbit can improve space safety, simplify space
traffic coordination and management, and optimize orbital capacity. This work describes two …

This work focuses on the generation of non-self-intersecting relative trajectories, and their
applications to satellite constellation design, slotting architectures, and space traffic …

In this study, we propose an optimal constellation determination method for Earth
observation satellites. First, orbit requirements for the interferometric synthetic aperture radar …

As more and more operators propose and deploy large constellations, the finite orbital
volume in low Earth orbit (LEO) is becoming increasingly congested. Over the last several …

This paper investigates impulsive maneuver-based control methods for satellite orbital slot
maintenance in the presence of dynamic variations. The objective is to develop an efficient …
