Abstract
In this paper, we further a general framework for the formation design of distributed space systems. Based on constrained nonlinear optimal control theory, the formation of multi-spacecraft is designed by Pseudospectral methods. The approach deals with the full nonlinear dynamics without using any linearization/approximation techniques; and is applicable to elliptical reference orbits. The method is tested on various formation problems including equilateral triangular formation over eccentric orbits. This framework provides a united and straightforward way to design large-scale formation for distributed space systems.

    Design and Control of Libration Point Spacecraft Formations 

    Infeld, Samantha I.; Josselyn, Scott B.; Murray, Walter; Ross, Michael I. (The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2007-07);
    We investigate the concurrent problem of orbit design and formation control around a libration point. Concurrency implies that the design and control problem are simultaneously investigated. Separating the two problems is ...

    A study of the flow of bulk material in bins 

    Reese, John Warren (Purdue University, 1954);
    The major problem in handling bulk material in bins is flow stoppage, which is the hanging-up of material within the bin. Although^ there are generalizations as to why materials cease to flow, arch, or funnel, clear ...

    Liquid Tin Solution Calorimeter for Measuring Heats of Formation of Alloys 

    Orr, R.L.; Hultgren, R.; Goldberg, A. (1957-10-01);
    A liquid tin solution calorimeter has been constructed for determining the heats of formation of alloy phases from the heats of solution of the alloys and of the pure component metals in liquid tin. The design of the ...
