发明名称 Methods and apparatus for controlling a plurality of satellites using node-synchronous eccentricity control
摘要 A first inclination vector associated with a first satellite of the plurality of satellites is established. A second inclination vector associated with a second satellite of the plurality of satellites is established. The first satellite and the second satellite are controlled, such that the first satellite and the second satellite are synchronized with a node.

主权项 1. A method for controlling a plurality of satellites, the method comprising: establishing a first inclination vector associated with a first satellite of the plurality of satellites, the first satellite travelling in a first inclined geosynchronous orbit; establishing a second inclination vector associated with a second satellite of the plurality of satellites, the second satellite travelling in a second inclined geosynchronous orbit; and controlling the first satellite and the second satellite such that the first satellite and the second satellite are synchronized with a node, wherein the first and second inclination vectors are offset from each other such that a radial offset is defined between orbital paths of the first and second satellites at the node, and such that latitude separation is defined between the orbital paths of the first and second satellites away from the node.
