航天器编队飞行及其关键技术的开发

Spacecraft Formation Flying and Their Key Technologies under Developm ent

简要论述由分布式航天器系统构成的空间编队飞行的概念 ,扼要介绍 NASA为未来航天器编队飞行项目开发的几项关键技术 ,着重阐明基于 GPS的分散式编队飞行控制和相对导航技术能充当未来多星编队飞行任务的导航系统 。

This paper briefly introduces the concept about spac ecraft formation flying missions composed of the distributed spacecraft systems ,simply presents several key technologies developed by NASA for future spacecra ft formation flying programs,and puts emphsis on clarifing how GPS-based format ion flying control and relative navigation technologies of distributed spacecraf ts wi ll enable to act as the navigation system of a range of multi-spacecraft format ion flying missions,and revolutionige the future space science.
