Hamiltonian Structure-Based Formation Flight Control Along Low-Energy Transfer Trajectory

What is it about?

This paper extends the Hamiltonian structure-preserving control from two-imensional formation flying to three-dimensioanal case, and handles two new topology types that have not been studied in the literature: saddle × saddle × center and complex saddle × complex saddle × center. These topology types exist in the low-energy lunar halo transfer trajectory, which can represent the time-varing and complicated dynamics in the vast Earth-Moon space region.
