Abstract

The laboratory facility named LuVeX is developed for motion control algorithms verification of the formation flying purposed for the Earth remote sensing. The mock-up description, the parameter determination of its individual elements, description of the realized algorithms for its thruster engine control are given in the chapter. The mathematical simulation results of a mock-up motion controlled with the algorithms which provide the required mock-up formation motion in given trajectories are presented. Several configurations of the formation and formation’s elements coupling methods are shown. Required motion precision and its dependence on formation parameters are examined.
