Abstract
Sufficient stability conditions are derived for simultaneous uncoordinated impulsive maneuvers in distributed mean orbit element spacecraft formations. Lyapunov stability formalisms are used in conjunction with distributed mean orbit element spacecraft formation definitions. Special cases of the sufficient stability conditions are examined. Simulated results demonstrate the efficacy of the approach, and conclusions and future work are discussed.
