Orbit and formation control for low-earth-orbit gravimetry drag-free satellites

Abstract: The paper outlines orbit and formation control of a long-distance (>100 km) two-satellite formation for the monitoring of the Earth gravity. Orbit control applies to a single satellite and performs altitude control. Here, formation control is formulated as a control capable of altitude and distance control at the same time. The satellites being placed in a low Earth orbit, orbit, and formation control employ the measurements of a global navigation system. Formation control is imposed by long-distance laser int… Show more

“…Integrated orbit and formation control The orbit and formation control design is driven by an innovative approach to multi-satellite formation and orbit control based on the integration of orbit and formation dynamics and control through the formation triangle concept. As a matter of fact, such modelling idea leads to new CW-type equations (see [6] and Section 4).…”

“…As a consequence, according to the Embedded Model Control methodology, a ninth-order stochastic disturbance dynamics (third order for each axis) driven by a 12th-dimensional bounded noise vector d w allows to account reliably for the high frequency spectral density of drag, thruster noise and accelerometer bias/drift [6]. The final DT model, from sensor to actuator dynamics, which is embedded in the control unit, reads:…”
