Summary This research aims to advance the knowledge in the field of multi-spacecraft systems for autonomous in-orbit assembly and reconfiguration. This emerging space-engineering concept may bring to breakthrough applications for both DOD and civilian space missions. Focus of the research is on the dynamics and control issues. Both analytical-numerical techniques and on-the-ground experimentation is used.
