Collision Avoidance for Satellites in Formation Flight
Satellites in a formation might need to maneuver to avoid potential collisions that may occur when foreign objects enter the formation, or when a satellite within the formation drifts into the path of another. In either case we seek to determine the probability of a future collision based on current state knowledge and the uncertain dynamic environment, and further to determine a control strate...
متن کاملHierarchical Fault Diagnosis in Satellites Formation Flight
Ground-support based satellite health monitoring and fault diagnosis practices involve around-theclock limit-checking and trend analysis on large amount of telemetry data. They do not scale well for future multi-platform space missions due to the size of the telemetry data and an increasing need to make the long-duration missions costeffective by limiting the operations team personnel. To utili...
متن کاملCryogenic Thermal Design of Small Electromagnetic Formation Flight Satellites
Electromagnetic Formation Flight (EMFF) is a novel propellantless propulsion technology for formation flying satellites. Actuation in relative degrees of freedom for formation flight satellites is provided using electromagnetic forces and reaction wheels. One application for EMFF is stationkeeping for fractionated spacecraft architectures. The benefit of EMFF is that by replacing thrusters for ...
متن کاملLow-Thrust Out-of-Plane Orbital Station-Keeping Maneuvers for Satellites
This paper considers the problem of out of plane orbital maneuvers for station keeping of satellites. The main idea is to consider that a satellite is in an orbit around the Earth and that it has its orbit is disturbed by one or more forces. Then, it is necessary to perform a small amplitude orbital correction to return the satellite to its original orbit, to keep it performing its mission. A l...
متن کاملInertial redirection of thrust forces for flight stabilization
Insects are highly maneuverable fliers. Naturally, engineers have focused much of their efforts on understanding the role of insect wing design and actuation for maneuvering and control of bio-inspired micro air vehicles. However, many insects exhibit strong visually mediated abdominal reflexes. The hawkmoth, Manduca sexta, has a particularly large abdomen, and recent evidence suggests that the...
