In order to construct a swarm to accomplish the future space missions, e. g., space exploration, which will be unmanned and necessarily highly autonomous, some enable technologies should be first investigated deeply, such as deployment optimization, inter satellite link and collide avoidance. In this paper, an optimal model of deployment for satellite platforms is presented firstly, which is indeed an intrinsic multi-objective optimization model. Secondly, an inter satellite link based on free-space optical communication is designed to accomplish the information exchange among the notes in swarm. Thirdly, an effective collide avoidance strategy using potential function is put forward to reduce the lost of swarm notes during moving to the target location. With the technologies previously mentioned, swarm will exhibit the properties of self-protecting, self-healing, self-configuring, and self-optimizing compared with traditional large-size satellite. This work affords a strategy to achieve the concept mission, swarm-based space mission.
