J2 Dynamics and Formation Flight
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the dynamics of the relative motion of satellites in the gravitational field of the Earth, including the effects of the bulge of the Earth (the J2 effect). Using Routh reduction and dynamical systems ideas, a method is found that locates orbits such that the cluster of satellites remains close with very little dispersing, even with no controls. The use of controls in the context of this natural dynamics is studied to maintain and achieve precision formations.

متن کاملAirborne Seeker Application in Three Dimensional Formation Flight of UAVs
This paper deals with the leader-follower formation control problem while communication constraint in data transmitting is considered. From a practical point of view, we study the case in which unmanned vehicles are subject to the limited sensing, and communication is of a particular interest. A three-dimensional formation flight of multi-unmanned aerial vehicles with leader-follower configurat...
متن کاملEffects of Flight Dynamics on Performance of One Axis Gimbal System, Considering Disturbance Torques
The gimbal stabilization mechanism system is used to provide the stability to an object mounted on the gimbal by isolating it from the base angular motion and vibration. In this paper the model of one axis gimbal system with dynamics flying object is introduced. The gimbal torque relationships are obtained using Newton’s second law equation on the assumption that gimbal is rigid body. The syste...

متن کاملJ2-Modified GVE-Based MPC for Formation Flying Spacecraft
Formation flying is an enabling technology for many future space missions. This paper presents an MPC controller that uses dynamics based on a modified version of Gauss’ Variational Equations which incorporates osculating J2 effects. A linear parameter-varying version of existing dynamics is developed, creating a highly accurate model that can easily be embedded in the MPC controller design. Th...
