摘要
This work discusses the usage of a low-thrust micro-cavity discharge thruster on 3 kg cubesats. Based on a case study of a two-satellite system, the required trajectories, and control use is determined to allow the cubesats to recover from disturbances, and extended their usable lifetime by a factor of at least 10. The approach uses a direct transcription method that employs multiple-shooting of a 4th order Runge-Kutta forward-integration of the state and control defects. It also lays the groundwork for future study into problems regarding cubesat formation phasing with larger numbers of spacecraft.
