Autonomous Optimal Absolute Orbit Keeping through Formation Flying Techniques

Autonomous Optimal Absolute Orbit Keeping through Formation Flying Techniques

In this paper, the problem of autonomous optimal absolute orbit keeping for a satellite mission in Low Earth Orbit using electric propulsion is considered. The main peculiarity of the approach is to support small satellite missions in which the platform is equipped with a single thruster nozzle that...
