IN THE framework of spacecraft relative motion, current dynamics models are diverse and
often subject to a multitude of constraints and limitations on the intersatellite range of …

This paper presents a review of previous work within the field of spacecraft formation flying,
including modeling approaches and controller design. In addition, five new approaches for …

Analytical Mechanics of Space Systems by Hanspeter Schaub and John Junkins is a
comprehensive treatment of a stimulating and challenging subject that is both old and new …

Formation flying is defined as a set of more than one spacecraft whose states are coupled
through a common control law. This paper provides a comprehensive survey of spacecraft …

This paper proposes an iterative learning control (ILC) scheme to ensure trajectory‐keeping
in satellite formation flying. Since satellites rotate the earth periodically, position‐dependent …

This research is focused on the definition, analysis, and numerical testing of an effective
nonlinear orbit control technique tailored to compensating orbit perturbations, as well as …

This paper presents a neural-aided Guidance, Navigation & Control algorithm for
reconfiguration of distributed space systems. The guidance algorithm is based on Artificial …

This survey deals with the problem of the group motion of spacecraft, which is rapidly
developing and relevant for many applications, in terms of developing the onboard control …

This paper presents a new formation design that enables deployment of large distributed
telescopes aligned with inertial targets in Earth orbit. To minimize propellant consumption …

Generally, spacecraft relative orbit is described using Hill frame coordinates with which it is
difficult to obtain precise orbit geometry. The orbit description is made simpler and …
