Decentralized Control of Nanosatellite Tetrahedral Formation Flying Using Aerodynamic Forces

Decentralized Control of Nanosatellite Tetrahedral Formation Flying Using Aerodynamic Forces

A decentralized control algorithm for the construction of a tetrahedral configuration using differential lift and drag forces is proposed in this paper. Four 3U CubeSats launched in LEO are considered. Satellite attitude-controlled motion relative to the incoming airflow provides the required differ...
