A model of relative translation and rotation in leader-follower spacecraft formations

In this paper, a model of a leader-follower spacecraft formation in six degrees of freedom is derived and presented. The nonlinear model describes the relative translational and rotationalmotion of the spacecraft, and extends previous work by providing a more complete factorization, together with de...
