Spacecraft coplanar formation accompanying-flight configuration control method

Abstract

The invention relates to a spacecraft coplanar formation accompanying-flight configuration control method. The spacecraft coplanar formation accompanying-flight configuration control method comprises that in dependence on analytical solutions of a C-W equation, an expression of geometric parameters of the configuration is obtained; in the expression, geometric parameters representing relative movement characteristics serve as control objects, and the control objects comprise an ellipse center radial position xc, an ellipse center transverse position yc, an ellipse semi-minor axis b and a phase [theta] of a spacecraft on a relative movement ellipse; and the control objects are controlled based on a minimum fuel control theory. By employing the spacecraft coplanar formation accompanying-flight configuration control method, fuel can be saved, and the spacecraft coplanar formation accompanying-flight configuration control method is suitable for controlling on-board independent coplanar formation configurations of micro/nano-satellites in the magnitude of hundred meters to tens of kilometers, having satellite-to-satellite real-time relative measurement and constrained by resources.
