Abstract
Electromagnetic formation flight (EMFF) is an actuation approach that can be used to control the configuration of a group of satellites. Each satellite generates an electromagnetic field, which produces intersatellite forces and moments. Centralized control strategies are commonly used for EMFF because the formation dynamics are nonlinear and highly coupled. Frequency multiplexing is a decoupling strategy that uses multi-frequency sinusoidal control signals to allow the interaction between certain satellite pairs while limiting the interaction with others. In this paper, we present a decentralized control strategy that uses frequency multiplexing to control both relative position and orientation of a group of satellites. Numerical examples are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the control strategy.
