Development of a Relative Motion Model for Satellite Formation Flying around L2
نویسنده
چکیده
A technique for satellite formation flying modelling in LEO is applied at L2. Analytical solutions to the equations of motion of a hub satellite relative to L2 are used to define a halo reference orbit. An expression for the gravity gradient is obtained at the hub and the linearised equations of motion of the mirror satellites relative to the hub are derived. The relative motion model is implemented in Matlab/Simulink and evaluated for different initial conditions. The analytical solutions to the equations of relative motion are derived. These and other equations of motion are compared to the Satellite Tool Kit numerical orbit propagator.

Fuzzy Sliding Mode for Spacecraft Formation Control in Eccentric Orbits
The problem of relative motion control for spacecraft formation flying in eccentric orbits is considered in this paper. Due to the presence of nonlinear dynamics and external disturbances, a robust fuzzy sliding mode controller is developed. The slopes of sliding surfaces of the conventional sliding mode controller are tuned according to error states using a fuzzy logic and reach the pre-define...
