Mission Planning for Satellite Cluster Reconfiguration Facing Obstacle Threats

Satellite cluster flight reconfiguration maneuver strategy based on modified simulated annealing algorithm is studied. Firstly, satellite cluster flight reconfiguration manuever missions are described. Then, a modified simulated annealing algorithm is proposed, which could increase the convergence speed, comparing with the traditional simulated annealing algorithm. Next, a satellite cluster flight reconfiguration maneuver strategy is designed, by combining satellite cluster flight reconfiguration manuever missions and the modified simulated annealing algorithm. Finally, the proposed cluster reconfiguration manuever strategy is applied to a cluster scatter and regather mission in numerical simulations, thereby the effectiveness and rapidity are verified.
