Reference relative orbits construction for tetrahedral satellite configuration

Y. Mashtakov, S. Shestakov


Abstract: The paper considers the group of four satellites forming the tetrahedron. Investigated problem is to find such relative orbits that in the linear Hill-Clohessy–Wiltshire model tetrahedron based on these satellites preserves its volume and shape. Families of solutions that ensure constant quality that is a special function of volume and edge lengths are obtained.

Keywords: satellite formation, tetrahedral configuration, reference orbits, tetrahedral quality.
