Challenging space mission scenarios include those in very low Earth orbits, where the atmosphere creates significant
drag to the S/C and forces their orbit to an early decay. For drag compensation, propulsion systems are ...
On the exploitation of differential aerodynamic lift and drag as a means to control satellite formation flight
