摘要：Formation flying (FF) creates large spaceborne instruments by using several smaller satellites in close formation. The concept requires very accurate relative positioning and orientation of the spacecrafts, the complexity of which is largely outweighed by the enormous benefit of the extended instrument size compared to traditional one-satellite configurations. The easiest way to perform formation flying with relative attitude and positioning in space is to use signals broadcast by GNSS satellites. Yet this ideal configuration, which could enable a relative positioning of better than one centimeter in certain cases, is limited to formation flying mission in low earth orbit (LEO).
