In this project, we have investigated a variety of problems arising in the orbital and attitude dynamics and control of formation flying. We established important collaborations, and leveraged this AFOSR support with support from NASA and the NSF to strengthen space-related research projects at Virginia Tech. Continued work with former AFIT students (J. Beck, K. Ford, and M. Marasch) was directly tied to projects of the Space Vehicles Directorate (AFRL/VS) interest, and resulted in archival publications and conference presentations. Collaboration with Professor P. Tsiotras of Georgia Tech resulted in two conference presentations, one archival publication and an additional article in preparation. Work with graduate students at Virginia Tech resulted in archival and conference publications. Publication details are given at the end of this report. This research project has direct tie-in to other projects supported by AFOSR and DARPA (University Nanosatellite Project), AFRL (powerSail), NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (Distributed Spacecraft), Universities Space Research Associates (University Nanosatellite Project), and the National Science Foundation (Analysis of Momentum Exchange in Spacecraft Attitude Dynamics and Control). We continue to attract high-quality U.S. civilian and Air Force graduate students to these pace-related projects. Furthermore, in teaching senior space design at Virginia Tech, we have supported several projects at both NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and AFRL's Space Vehicles Directorate.
