Agent-Based Control of Multiple Satellite Formation Flying
Joseph Mueller, Derek M. Surka, Bogdan Udrea · 2001
Formation flying is an enabling technique for numerous proposed satellite missions. The TeamAgent software system, based on ObjectAgent technology, is designed to enable multiple satellites to cooperate autonomously with particular focus on formation flying. A generalized agent-based software architecture for formation flying has been devised and is being applied to the Air Force Research Laboratory’s TechSat 21 technology demonstration mission.
