Abstract The space-based gravitational wave observatory mission consists of three drag-free controlled spacecraft, which form an equilateral triangle configuration. Due to the injection error, the configuration will deviate from the originally designed one, and the injection configuration cannot keep stability for a long term, which will affect the performance of the gravitational wave detection. In this study, we propose a method for reconfiguration using multiple-revolution Lambert solutions. In addition, assuming that the real-time data of spacecraft’s motion states can be obtained with high accuracy and the propulsion system can ensure the magnitude and accuracy of maneuvers, and taking the cost of reconfiguration and configuration stability requirements into account, a novel method of redesigning configuration based on differential evolution algorithm is proposed. Finally, the numerical simulations show that the redesigned configuration not only can reduce the maneuver cost significantly, but also can meet the requirements of long-term stability requirements.
