Passive and periodic formations minimize the active control of long-term satellite formation flying. Among different passive and periodic formations, the circular-like ones have potential applications in many formation flying missions. This paper shows that such formations under J2 perturbation are only possible at the critical inclination. It is revealed that strict constraints for both the reference...
In this paper, we focus on the design of fuel-optimal satellite formation keeping strategy using a low thrust propulsion system. The proposed controller includes feedback control and feedforward control. For feedback control, a real-time fuel-optimal control approach is proposed. The fuel-optimal control problem is then converted into a quadratic programming problem by application of a Legendre pseudospectral...
