Abstract
In this paper, we state the basic governing relationships between a constellation´s motion in physical two dimensional space and imaging objectives. We then introduce a class of motions that satisfies imaging objectives and seek simple solutions to the problem of motion design and control of a formation for imaging applications. Results indicate a tradeoff between image quality and fuel expenditure for the proposed class of maneuvers.
