Abstract:
In this work, first, the generalized dynamics model including the coupled orbit and orientation models is briefly discussed. Sliding mode control and boundary layer control based on the genetic algorithm is proposed as the control strategies. After that, formation configuration and reconfiguration architecture are discussed. Finally, a five-satellite formation is used as an example to validate the formation maintenance and reconfiguration method.
