This Quarterly Report deals with the deployment maneuver of a single-axis, vertical constellation with three masses. A new, easy to handle, computer code that simulates the two-dimensional dynamics of the constellation has been implemented. This computer code is used for designing control laws for the deployment maneuver that minimizes the acceleration level of the low-g platform during the maneuver.
