| Popis: |
This paper focuses on the design of analytical and numerical optimal guidance low-thrust profiles for a three spacecraft formation during observation phase around apogee of a highly eccentric orbit. The objective is to maximise the observation time in which the constrained formation configuration shall remain stable, while minimising fuel consumption. The design method pays also special attention to loose and safe configurations out of apogee, allowing the sequential execution of an experimentation timeline to be completed in several orbits with minimum cost by bringing back together the satellites at apogee entrance with no excessive divergence close to perigee. |
