A noncanonical Hamiltonian formulation of the Coulomb formation dynamics is used to develop necessary conditions for static Coulomb formations with constant charges. With a static or frozen formation the satellites perform non-Keplerian orbits and maintain constant relative position vectors. As seen by an observer following the center of mass motion, the spacecraft formation would appear to behave...
