title = "Satellite cluster flight using fixed-magnitude cyclic control",
abstract = "Satellite cluster flight is an enabling technology for disaggregated space architecture. A nonlinear distributed control law is developed considering fixed-magnitude thrust, in order to establish satellite cluster flight under perturbations. Mean orbital elements are used as feedback. Notation of partial stability is adopted to describe the stability. Uniform stability and asymptotic stability are proven for the relative motion control. State selection for establishing a low Earth orbit cluster is also discussed. Several numerical studies are performed to assess the performance of the control law. Comparisons are provided to show the fuel-balancing merits of the current control law. The effects of drag on the long-term performance are also investigated. The current control law is shown to be feasible and effective for satellite cluster flight.",
