论文摘要
本文提出了一种在低地球轨道环境中飞行多卫星地层最佳操作设计的策略，目的是为任务操作设计提供工具。拟议的形成飞行操作的方法可以预见到连续的低推力控制概况，以实现操作阶段。设计是从相对轨道元件中描述的动态表示开始的，包括主要的轨道扰动效应。它还利用了与经典径向转换正常描述的接口，以包括最大的Delta-V限制和安全条件要求。作为欧洲航天局Mission Agency Mission概念研究的一部分，该方法应用于遥感的任务研究，用于土地和海洋应用，例如潜在的高分辨率土壤水分和海洋盐度（SMOS）后续任务，这是欧洲航天台上的任务概念研究的一部分。此外，结果适用于广泛的低地球轨道任务，利用分布式系统，尤其是飞行L波段孔合成（FFLAS）作为SMOS的后续概念。
This paper presents a strategy for optimal manoeuvre design of multi-satellite formation flying in low Earth orbit environment, with the aim of providing a tool for mission operation design. The proposed methodology for formation flying manoeuvres foresees a continuous low-thrust control profile, to enable the operational phases. The design is performed starting from the dynamic representation described in the relative orbital elements, including the main orbital perturbations effects. It also exploits an interface with the classical radial-transversal-normal description to include the maximum delta-v limitation and the safety condition requirements. The methodology is applied to a remote sensing mission study, Formation Flying L-band Aperture Synthesis, for land and ocean application, such as a potential high-resolution Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) follow-on mission, as part of a European Space Agency mission concept study. Moreover, the results are applicable to a wide range of low Earth orbit missions, exploiting a distributed system, and in particular to Formation Flying L-band Aperture Synthesis (FFLAS) as a follow-on concept to SMOS.
