Four-Craft Virtual Coulomb Structure Analysis for 1 to 3 dimensional Geometries

Coulomb propulsion has been proposed for spacecraft cluster applications with separation distances on the order of dozens of meters. This thesis presents an investigation of analytic charge solutions for a planar and three dimensional four satellite formations. The solutions are formulated in terms...
