Allowing satellite formations the flexibility to perform path planning operations onboard each spacecraft can significantly reduce the ground operations burden and increase the responsiveness of the formation to reconfiguration events. This paper develops a semianalytic approach to rapid onboard, fuel-minimized, collision-free path generation for satellites in a formation. A sequential optimization...
Satellite constellation deployment for formation flying missions is one of the key areas for consideration when realizing the final constellation with reduced propellant mass requirements on the propulsion system. The use of a single launch vehicle to deploy multiple satellites into a formation is faster and cheaper but there is greater risk of collision. This risk must be managed with the competing...
Rapid collision identification and avoidance is a necessary capability for distributed implementation of path planning tools on formation flying spacecraft. This paper presents an approach for rapid collision identification, and fuel optimal trajectory shaping around collisions, while in natural motion and along reconfiguration trajectories. Collision identification and trajectory shaping is also...
