Computing Minimum-Power Dipole Solutions for Interdipole Forces Using Nonlinear Constrained Optimization With Application to Electromagnetic Formation Flight
RA-L 2017
Electromagnetic formation flight (EMFF) denotes a method of formation flight control in which a cluster of spacecraft are equipped with controllable magnetic dipoles for coordination of their relative positions using interdipole forces. We present a method for finding a minimum-power dipole solution
