Abstract

This paper deals with the formation flight control of Cubesat-type nanosatellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), employing a decentralized model predictive control algorithm aimed at minimizing tracking error. The proposed technique’s effectiveness has been proved through numerical simulations, using a non-linear simulator taking into account the effects of atmospheric drag, and gravitational field variations as a function of latitude and longitude.
