Abstract

Small satellites are suitable for formationying missions where a large number of space- craft serve as distributed sensors for applications like synthetic aperture radar, interfer- ometry, etc. A survey of existing or proposed small satellite missions concludes that there is a dearth of formation ying missions using four or more spacecraft that require forma- tion maintenance. This paper presents a systems engineering based design of a formation ying technology demonstration mission that requires precise formation maintenance and reconfigurations and highlights the challenges that need to be overcome for its successful implementation. The goal of this paper is to provide directions for future research and development in spacecraft formation ying technologies.
