This paper extends earlier analysis for autonomous orbit determination and control of Earth orbiting spacecraft. The earlier analysis was limited to a single spacecraft with a ground track repeat requirement. This work shows that a similar technique is applicable for two spacecraft flying in formation. Tracking and orbit determination functions are performed using the Global Positioning System (GPS).
