title = "Differential drag for cluster flight using mean orbital elements",
abstract = "Differential drag (DD) as a means for passive satellite cluster keeping is an old idea, but so far using DD-based cluster keeping while relying on mean orbital elements feedback has not been proposed. This paper develops a DD-based maximum distance keeping method that uses Brouwer-Lyddane differential mean elements feedback for long-term control of the secular drift among satellites. The stability of the maximum distance keeping controller is proven using finite-time stability theory, and high-precision simulation results confirm that the new controller is able to arrest satellite relative drift for mission lifetimes exceeding a year. The maximum distance controller is automatically activated, and does not require a pre-determined activation time.",
