Research on Satellite Formation Establishing in Elliptical Orbits Based on Two-Impulse Control

Abstract:

In order to solving the establishment problem of satellites formation establishing in elliptical orbits, the problem of Lambert transfer based on two-impulse control with unfixed time and initial position is studied. The Niche Genetic Algorithms (NGA) is used to locating the optimal transfer orbit, and the transfer time and initial position are coded into genetic algorithms, as well as the fitness functions are designed to total coasting. The results show that the NGA can solve the optimization problem of two-impulse control effectively, furthermore, the performance of NGA is more effective than the traditional genetic algorithm. The research provides a way for satellites formation establishing based on two-impulse control.
