摘要:Taking into considerations the effect of the Earth’s oblateness parameters, particularly J2, the present work assess such influence on the formation flight of micro satellites in near equatorial low orbits. The modified Clohessy-Wiltshire equations are reviewed to arrive at a convenient formulation as a set of linearized differential equations of motion to include the J2 effects in the LVLH frame of reference. Comparison made on the orbit of twin-satellite formation flying with respect to that predicted by baseline Hill-Clohessy-Wiltshire equation, and to similar results in the literature, exhibit the plausibility of the work.
