Research on architecture model with autonomous coordination for distributed satellite systems

This paper discussed the qualitative analysis and comparison of commonly-used autonomous control architectures of distributed satellites system (DSS). Based on it, a hybrid systematic hierarchical structure model with two levels is put forward to fulfill autonomous coordination demands of DSS under the dynamic and complicated uncertain circumstances. Furthmore, a novel agent model on satellite control architecture is outlined, and the components, functions and relationships of agents in the architecture are analyzed. It is designed for multi-satellites coordination and satellite self-government, thus it has generality to a certain extent.
