Stabilization of space-advertisement satellite formation
Stabilization of space-advertisement satellite formation
Space-advertisement is getting closer with advances in satellite formation flying, which displays an artificial constellation in the night sky. The formation shape composed of pixels of satellites equipping light sources is observed from the ground and different from formation in relative orbits. For realizing the advertisement shape of high quality, there are two requirements, placing the pixels of the advertisement shape properly and keeping the shape during a visible span. It is not enough to satisfy the requirements by the usual coordinate systems and equations. Considering a topocentric coordinate system, the new transforming equations are derived so that an arbitrary advertisement shape is designed at the target time. Also, stable orbits that keep the formation shape without control are found and an example of stable orbits is presented.

Abstract
Space-advertisement is getting closer with advances in satellite formation flying, which displays an artificial constellation in the night sky. The formation shape composed of pixels of satellites equipping light sources is observed from the ground and different from formation in relative orbits. For realizing the advertisement shape of high quality, there are two requirements, placing the pixels of the advertisement shape properly and keeping the shape during a visible span. It is not enough to satisfy the requirements by the usual coordinate systems and equations. Considering a topocentric coordinate system, the new transforming equations are derived so that an arbitrary advertisement shape is designed at the target time. Also, stable orbits that keep the formation shape without control are found and an example of stable orbits is presented.
