Multi-Satellite Formation Trajectory Design with Topological Constraints over a Region of Interest using Differential Evolution

Satellite formation missions allow for scientific measurement opportunities that are only otherwise possible with the use of unrealistically large satellites. This work applies the Evolutionary Algorithm (EA), Differential Evolution (DE), to a 4-satellite mission design that borrows heavily from the...
