This paper develops cluster control algorithms for the Satellite Swarm Sensor Network project, for which the main aim is to enable disaggregation of space-based remote sensing, imaging, and observation satellites. A methodological development of orbit control algorithms is provided, supporting the various use cases of the mission. Emphasis is given on outlining the algorithm’s structure, information flow, and implementation. The methodology presented herein enables operation of multiple satellites in coordination to facilitate disaggregation of space sensors and augmentation of data provided therefrom.
