用两体相对运动的线性 Hill方程进行了小卫星编队飞行队形的初步设计 ,并给出编队飞行中各绕飞小卫星轨道要素的确定过程。以空间圆形编队为例 ,在未考虑摄动情况下 ,通过仿真验证了

The preliminary design of small satellites formation flying and the solving process of orbital elements of each circling satellite are presented by using the linear Hill equations for the relative motion. Moreover, a design example of the space circular formation flying is given. And the numerical simulations are developed for the example to demonstrate the validity of Hill equations for the preliminary design of small satellites formation flying without considering the perturbation.
