Relative attitude control in satellite formation flying without real time orbit control

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

To determine the follower's orientation in satellite formation flying without real time orbit control, an approach to compute the expected attitude and angular velocity is presented. It makes full use of the information of single satellite's position and velocity in ECI (earth center inertial frame), and is not necessary to install new sensors to measure the relative attitude. Then sliding mode controller is developed based on it. Simulation results show that the approach can obtain expected attitude accurately and accomplish relative attitude control.
