Application of Analytic Solution in Relative Motion to Spacecraft Formation Flying in Elliptic Orbit

The current paper presents application of a new analytic solution in general relative motion to spacecraft formation flying in an elliptic orbit. The calculus of variations is used to analytically find optimal trajectories and controls for the given problem. The inverse of the fundamental matrix ass...
