Nowadays, technology and space science are
developing rapidly, providing new possibilities for multi-segment missions to
become a frequent practice. This relates to small satellites, which could be
used to organize a formation, in order to solve complex scientific and applied
problems. A formation could serve as distributed instruments for atmospheric
sampling, construct a large distributed antenna platform, or make a large
distributed aperture for imaging and other applications what only a big
satellite can achieve. Small satellite’s formation flying is low cost space
project compared to one big satellite. However, to develop satellite formation
a lot of problems should be solved depending on its mission.
One of the important tasks in small
satellite formation is an accurate determination and control of position and
attitude. This paper provides a
mathematical modelling of a small satellite’s formation motion, which is
essential to realize a synthetic aperture telescope. Furthermore, the paper
describes the principle of formation configuration and its design.
