Spacecraft Formation Flying - Dynamics, Control and Navigation

Zusammenfassung Provides a discussion of spacecraft relative motion, both in the unperturbed and perturbed settings. This title explains the main control approaches for regulating relative satellite dynamics, using both impulsive and continuous maneuvers, and present the main constituents required for relative navigation.
