Vision-Based CubeSat Closed-Loop Formation Control in Close Proximities

A vision based formation and attitude controller has been derived and simulated for the formation keeping of two 3U CubeSats. Four markers are installed on the leader CubeSat. Two cameras are installed on the follower CubeSat. An efficient vision based pose estimation method is used to estimate the...
