Minimum-Distance Collision-Free Trajectory Generation for Formation Flying Satellites Using a Hybrid Path-Planning Algorithm
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Banazadeh, Afshin (Supervisor)
Abstract
The formation flight of satellites corresponds to a group of small satellites, performing the mission of a presumed larger and more expensive satellite. Usually mission designers tend to put these satellites in such orbital configurations that their trajectories do not intersect. Although a stable configuration in a certain collision-free orbit is desirable for long term purposes, most of the missions including maneuvers like forming or changing a configuration and inserting new satellites need to be planned using a proper path planning algorithm. In this thesis, a path planning algorithm is suggested that acquires the optimal and impact-free trajectories for a group of satellites for...
