The use of aerial swarms to solve real-world problems has been increasing steadily,
accompanied by falling prices and improving performance of communication, sensing, and …

The design of advanced guidance and control (G&C) systems for space/aerospace vehicles
has received a large amount of attention worldwide during the last few decades and will …

Traditionally, the space industry produced large and sophisticated spacecraft handcrafted by
large teams of engineers and budgets within the reach of only a few large government …

Advances in nanosatellite technology and a declining cost of access to space have fostered
an emergence of large constellations of sensor-equipped satellites in low-Earth orbit. Many …

Very low Earth orbits (VLEO), typically classified as orbits below approximately 450 km in
altitude, have the potential to provide significant benefits to spacecraft over those that …

This paper presents the recent developments in Fault-Tolerant Cooperative Control (FTCC)
of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (multi-UAVs). To facilitate the analyses of FTCC …

This paper comprehensively reviews the state-of-the-art development in formation control of
small satellites. Satellite formation flying, distributed satellite systems, and fractionated …

Small satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) are typically organized as a satellite constellation.
The satellite number of a LEO satellite constellation would be several hundred or even tens …

Direct connectivity in L/S frequency bands between satellites and common mobile terrestrial
user equipment (UE), such as smartphones, is an essential feature for future 6G non …

This study presents trajectory design/control for spacecraft formation flying with obstacle
