  1. 1. Real-Time Navigation for Swarms of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Satellites

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Antoni Eritja Olivella; [2024]
    Keywords : SAR; Real-time orbit determination; Real-time baseline determination; swarms; satellite; formation flying;

    Abstract : The pursuit of precision and flexibility in satellite missions has led to an increased number of formation flying missions being developed. These systems consist of multiple satellites flying at close distances (from a few kilometres to a few meters) to achieve common objectives. READ MORE

  3. 2. Coordinate­Free Spacecraft Formation Control with Global Shape Convergence under Vision­Based Sensing

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

  4. 3. Cooperative Navigation in Space in-proximity of Small Bodies

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Vignesh Kottayam Viswanathan; [2021]
    Keywords : Formation Flying; Asteroid exploration; stereovision;

    Abstract : Autonomous proximity operations are the future of Deep space robotic exploration for searchof life, mining for resources and to establish outposts. Part of that future depends on howwell the spacecraft is capable to navigate around the complex environment of the smallcelestial body. READ MORE

  5. 4. Comparison of Control Approaches for Formation Flying of Two Identical Satellites in Low Earth Orbit

    University essay from KTH/Rymdteknik

    Author : Hasan Basaran; [2020]
    Keywords : Aerospace; Chief; Control; Deputy; Feedback Linearization; Follower; Formation Flight; Fuel Consumption; Guidance; Leader; Model Predictive Control; Relative Orbit; Rendezvous; Sliding Mode.;

    Abstract : Formation flying of satellites describes a mission in which a set of satellites arrange their position with respect to one another. In this paper, satellite formation flying guidance and control algorithms are investigated in terms of required velocity increment Delta-v, and tracking error for a Chief/Deputy satellite system.

  6. 5. Further Development of a Distributed Robust Control Approach towards a Nanosatellite Formation Flying Application

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Johannes Dauner; [2020]
    Keywords : NetSat; CubeSat; Nanosatellite; Satellite Formation; Control; Robust Control; Distributed Control;

    Abstract : This thesis proposes a distributed robust control approach for low-thrust nanosatellite formation flying. The presented control approach is the further development of an already existing approach which combines robust control and distributed control using the consensus approach. READ MORE
