Formation flying of satellites describes a mission in which a set of satellites arrange their position with respect to one another. In this paper, satellite formation flying guidance and control algorithms are investigated in terms of required velocity increment Delta-v, and tracking error for a Chief/Deputy satellite system. Different control methods covering continuous and impulsive laws are implemented and tested for Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Sliding Mode, Feedback Linearization and Model Predictive Controllers are compared to an Impulsive Feedback Law which tracks the mean orbital element differences. Sliding Mode and Feedback Linearization controllers use the same dynamic model which includes Earth Oblateness perturbations. On the other h...
