About this book
Though satellite formation flying is widely considered to be a major advance in space technology, there are few systematic treatments of the topic in the literature. Addressing that gap, the book offers a valuable resource for academics, researchers, postgraduate students and practitioners in the field of satellite science and engineering.

About the authors
Dr. Baolin Wu received the B.E and the M.E degrees in Aerospace Engineering from the Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin, China, in 2003 and 2005 respectively, and the Ph.D. degree on the topic of satellite formation control from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, in 2011. From 2011 to 2013, he worked as a research engineer on satellite attitude determination and control system in ST Electronics (Satellite Systems) Pte Ltd, Singapore. Since 2014, He has been with Research Center of Satellite Technology, Haribn Institute of Technology, China, where he is currently an Associate Professor. He was recognized as an outstanding young scholar by Harbin Institute of Technology in 2014. His current research interests are in the area of satellite formation control, trajectory optimization and attitude control.
Dr. Poh Eng Kee rceived his M. Sc (Elec. Eng.: Systems) and PhD (Elec. Eng.: Systems) from the University of Michigan in 1990 and 1993 respectively. Dr. Poh is presently a distinguished member of technical staff (DMTS) cum Laboratory Head (Guidance, Navigation and Control) in DSO, responsible for advancing guidance, navigation and control technologies development for applications in flight vehicles and unmanned platforms. Dr Poh is also an adjunct associate professor with the School of Electrical and Electrical Engineering, Nanyang Technological University.
