Leader-follower formation control of networked spacecraft in deep space
Nan Wang, Jieqiong Xu · 2010
In this paper, we present a leader-follower formation control for six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) networked spacecraft flying in deep space. In this approach, a spacecraft was designated as the leader for all other spacecraft. The proposed control strategy allows each follower spacecraft to track its desired relative trajectory with respect to the leader. Simulation results validate the performance of the proposed controller.
