Mode and logic-based switching for formation flying control is motivated and addressed in the context of separated spacecraft optical interferometry. It is shown that logic-based switching is an attractive approach for satisfying multiple performance criteria during the different phases of a representative formation flying mission. Simulation results are included to demonstrate the need for introducing logic-based switching, its mechanism, and its performance
