RUDN Engineers Show the Way to Control Satellite Formations More Effectively
Scientific Project Lomonosov

To obtain information about objects on the earth's surface and in near-Earth space, it is advisable to use not one, but several satellites. Such satellites move in different orbits, but operate as a whole. This allows us to increase the efficiency and accuracy of the obtained data but requires additional efforts to control the relative motion of satellites. RUDN engineers together with colleagues from Malaysia found a way to effectively control such formations of several satellites.
