Abstract: The second-order analytical state propagation under an arbitrary continuous thrust is proposed for relative motion in $J_{2}$-perturbed elliptic chief ...
Abstract: This article investigates the reconfiguration optimization of the formation flying in elliptical orbits. Based on the Tschauner–Hempel equations, the time-varying system has been reduced to ...
The idea of relative motion is an aspect of the theory of relativity (strictly, it’s Galilean relativity, rather than ...
