  • Method for maintaining pose of spacecraft
    Patent number: 8244417
    Abstract: Embodiments of invention disclose a system and a method for formation-keeping of a spacecraft in response to a displacement of the spacecraft to a displaced pose with respect to at least one direction of the displacement, wherein the spacecraft is configured to issue a compensative force by generating a command to issue a compensative force. The compensative force is determined as a function of a sum of the base force configured for maintaining the spacecraft in the displaced pose with respect to the direction of the displacement and an excess force configured for optimizing the formation-keeping with respect to the direction of the displacement of the spacecraft at the displaced pose.
