Abstract

The problem of the maintenance of an angle between planes of orbits in a multisatellite system is considered. It is assumed that one of the satellites is active, to be later used for the servicing of a spacecraft located in an orbit of another level. Simple maintenance of system configuration is also considered. Various schemes of the maintenance of the angle including schemes that provide the minimum angle between the planes of the orbits at the time of the optimal phase mismatch for approach maneuvers. Four examples of the solution of the problem are given that make it possible to estimate the effectiveness of various maintenance schemes.
