This project is to investigate the applicability of advanced control theory and methodologies to the Formation Flying of Nano-satellites. The first part in this investigation is to study the satellite formation flying guidance and control. Followed, how Spacecraft Control Toolbox (SCT) can increase the efficiency of the Spacecraft Dynamics and Control software is discussed. In addition, investigation to the how the orbit disturbances will affect the formation flying. Finally, a brief overview of five small satellites In Line Leader–Follower formation flying guide is presented.
