Article Preview

Abstract:

According to the structural characteristics of satellite formation, and using the kinematic equations which expressed as fly-around form, designed a model for satellite formation configuration, analysed the relationship between fly-around parameters and the orbital elements, designed a method that meets the mission requirements of the satellite formation configuration, formulated a corresponding operation flow chart, listed several typical satellite formations of simple configuration and complex configuration. Finally, according to the general process of configuration design, obtaioned a configuration based on the requirments, and with the help of software STK and Matlab performed a formation configuration simulation that considering collision avoidance verification and adjustment. The simulation results show that the formation configuration design process and design method are basically right.
