“…In others words at LEO atmospheric density (ρ) is large enough to induce aerodynamic drag against the motion of a spacecraft. The relative acceleration caused by the differential aerodynamic drag for the spacecraft system is given in [8] as: 2 2 Dr BC aV   (6) where the ballistic coefficient ΔBC is given by:…”

“…With recent advancements in consumer electronics, the ability to operate co-orbital nano-satellites (nanosats) in swarm platforms to replace the more costly and bulkier satellites opens new opportunities and challenges for space industries [1,2]. As compared to a single satellite, a nanosat swarm has many advantages, including synchronous measurements over a dispersed area and improvements in performance and survivability, which have been widely proposed for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) applications, such as Earth resource exploration, battlefield reconnaissance, natural disaster surveillance, and so on [3,4].…”
