Agent-Based Control of Multiple Satellite Formation Flying
Abstract
Formation flying is an enabling technique for numerous proposed satellite missions. The TeamAgent software system, based on Object Agent technology, is designed to enable multiple satellites to cooperate autonomously with particular focus on formation flying. A generalized agent-based software architecture for formation flying has been devised and is being applied to the Air Force Research Laboratory's TechSat 21 technology demonstration mission.
