Distributed attitude alignment in spacecraft formation flying
In this paper, we consider a distributed attitude alignment problem for a team of deep space formation flying spacecraft through local information exchange. We propose control laws for three different cases. In the first case, multiple spacecraft converge to their (possibly time-varying) desired attitudes while maintaining the same attitude or given relative attitudes during formation maneuvers...
متن کاملAttitude Tracking Control for Spacecraft Formation Flying
We develop a non-linear tracking control law to be applied to formation flying spacecraft. Each spacecraft in the formation is modeled as a rigid body with N axisymmetric wheels controlled by axial torques, and the kinematics are represented by Modified Rodriques Parameters (MRPs). The paper first derives the open-loop reference attitude, rate, and acceleration commands for tracking a moving ob...
متن کاملAttitude and Phase Synchronization of Formation Flying Spacecraft: Lagrangian Approach
This article presents a unified synchronization framework with application to precision formation flying spacecraft. Central to the proposed innovation, in applying synchronization to both translational and rotational dynamics in the Lagrangian form, is the use of the distributed stability and performance analysis tool, called contraction analysis that yields exact nonlinear stability proofs. T...
متن کاملDecentralized Relative Attitude Estimation for Three-Spacecraft Formation Flying Applications
This paper investigates the problem of relative spacecraft attitude estimation between three vehicles from a decentralized point of view. Decentralized attitude estimation is achieved through the use of local extended Kalman filters and a data fusion process known as the Covariance Intersection algorithm. Because the global attitude parameterization is the quaternion, the Covariance Intersectio...
متن کاملDistributed Control of Formation Flying Spacecraft Built on OA
This paper describes several tools and technologies that have been developed for future spacecraft formation flying missions. This includes algorithms to perform autonomous navigation and control, with new results presented for trajectory planning in highly elliptic orbits and fault detection for a distributed spacecraft system. The overall approach is embedded in the OA middleware developed by...
