  • Abstract
    This paper addresses the problem of coordinating multiple spacecraft to fly in tightly controlled formations. The main contribution of the paper is to introduce a coordination architecture that subsumes leader-following, behavioral, and virtual-structure approaches to the multi-vehicle coordination problem. The architecture is illustrated through an application of the ideas to the problem of synthesizing a multiple spacecraft interferometer in deep space
