Abstract

The paper presents how the formation is controlled to the intended shape by a decentralized control. The formation behaviour is dealt via a z-transformation method and a uniformly convergent strategy that each spacecraft performs is proposed. Not only one-dimensional but tow-dimensional examples are shown. Since the strategy is highly flexible, it is applicable to a variety of the formation flying space missions.
