Cooperative Control for Distributed Satellite Formation Keeping
Guang‐Ren Duan · Journal of Astronautics · 2011
A distributed cooperative control algorithm is proposed in this paper for a class of distributed satellite formation keeping problem,and the relationship between the proposed algorithm and the topology structure of the information communication among foramtion flying satellites is presented.The proposed algorithm is based on model predictive control,and the nature and the topology structure of the distributed satellite formation,are used to design a distributed model predictive control algorithm in a distributed structure.The proposed algorithm is optimized over a finite time on line and can deal with the constrained contol problem well.Numerical simulations have demonstrated the effectiveness of the approach proposed.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can be applied to the distributed satellite formation keeping control problem effectively.
