Guaranteed ellipsoidal estimation for satellite formation flying collision avoidance

International Journal of Space Science and Engineering (IJSPACESE), Vol. 4, No. 2, 2016

Abstract: Collision avoidance among satellites flying in formation is a subject of great current interest. Approaches to this problem have been based primarily on probabilistic considerations. In this paper, we present a method based on guaranteed ellipsoid estimation, which is applied to a low earth orbit leader-follower satellite formation illustrating the evolution of bounding ellipsoids. This is compared with the results of deterministic inputs acting on the system.
