Abstract
We present a spacecraft control for rigid fleet rotations. This is done by creating a fleet template which is slowly rotated to generate desired trajectories for each individual spacecraft. By rotating the template slowly enough each spacecraft is able to track these trajectories to within a given tolerance in the presence of actuator saturation. Simulations for a three spacecraft fleet are given
