Formation Flying Simulation

#1

Has anyone had any experience using Orekit and the associated tools to generate a model of a set of Formation Flying Satellites (three cubesats flying in a triangle formation in LEO orbit, I’m trying to model their orbits over the course of a couple of days)? I’m trying to evaluate what it would take to get where I want to go.

Thanks

Hi @KyleJohnston

Welcome to the Orekit forum!

Sorry for the late answer. I recommend you to use the PropagatorsParallelizer class. This class provides a way to propagate simultaneously several orbits. It is based on multi-threading.

If you want some examples about how using this class, you can look at the test class.

Best regards,
Bryan
