Control of the motion of a swarm of small satellites after a cluster launch is proposed to keep the satellites trajectories in a given area and provide intersatellite communications. The goal of the motion control algorithm is to eliminate the average drift parameter and achieve the required relative trajectory shift in the along-track direction. An analytical study of the proposed motion algorithm is carried out using a linear model of relative motion. The verification of analytical results is performed by swarm motion numerical simulation.
