Abstract
This paper is the second of a two-part discussion on a Formation Flight Guidance, Navigation, and Control solution that introduces a decentralized formation control approach. The previously defined formation framework is expanded and considerations for formation design are discussed, including J2 invariance and collision avoidance. Several mean orbit element controllers are discussed that control the relative formation in mean orbit element space. These controllers are tested with perfect navigation, and combined with the previously developed consensus algorithm. Discussion on the relative performance of the combined control and consensus simulation compared to the control with perfect navigation is presented. This is a key issue in the future use of a control scheme on a distributed formation.
