Abstract :
This paper addresses the problem of formation and reconfiguration of multiple micro-satellite systems. A control scheme, called the perceptive frame, is adopted which integrates the decentralized feedback of each satellite with online sensor information to achieve the goal of formation keeping and intersatellite coordination. The new method has the advantages of relative position keeping and easy formation reconfiguration
