In recent years, studying Lorentz’s force has become a possible good means to control the spacecraft to reduce the fuel cost by modulating spacecraft electrostatic charge (magnetic and electric fields). The generation of Lorentz force is finite by the natural magnetic field and the relative velocity of the spacecraft. Therefore, the Lorentz force cannot fully occur from conventional propulsion technologies. Previous studies are concerned with studying Lorentz’s strength in the magnetic field only. In this work, we developed a mathematical model for a new technique establishing a raise in the level of charging in the spacecraft surface that is moving in the Earth’s magnetic field and provided by modulating spacecraft’s electrostatic charge that induces acceleration via the Lorentz force. The acceleration will be used to find the relationship between capacitance and power required to minimize the consumption of control energy used in such cases or to replace the usual control thruster by Lorentz force.

Progress in miniaturization of satellite components allows complex missions to be performed by small spacecraft. Growing interest in the small satellite sector has led to development of standards such as CubeSat, contributing to lower costs of satellite development and increasing their service competitiveness. Small satellites are seen now as a prospective replacement for conventional sized satellites in the future, providing also services for demanding users. New paradigms of multi-satellite missions such as fractionation and federalization also open up new prospects for applications of small platforms. To perform a comprehensive simulation and analysis of future nanosatellite missions, an adequate propulsion system model must be used. Such model should account for propulsion solutions which can be implemented on nanosatellites and used in multisatellite missions. In the paper, concepts of distributed satellite systems (constellations, formations, fractionated and federated) are described with a survey of past, on-going and planned multi-satellite nanosatellites missions. Currently developed propulsion systems are discussed and the models of propulsion systems embedded in the WUT satellite simulation model are presented.

Postępująca miniaturyzacja podzespołów satelitarnych pozwala na realizację skomplikowanych misji przez małe satelity. Wzrost zainteresowania małymi satelitami przyczynił się do powstania standardów takich jak CubeSat, umożliwiając zmniejszenie kosztów budowy oraz wzrost konkurencyjności usług oferowanych przez małe satelity. Istnieje przekonanie, że w najbliższym czasie małe satelity zastąpią satelity duże oferując usługi także wymagającym użytkownikom. Nowe architektury misji wielosatelitarnych jak federacyjne systemy satelitarne czy frakcjonowanie satelitów wskazują nowe możliwości wykorzystania małych satelitów. Aby umożliwić zaawansowaną symulację i analizę nowych misji realizowanych przez nanosatelity konieczne jest wykorzystanie odpowiedniego modelu zespołu napędowego. Taki model powinien obejmować rozwiązania, które mogą zostać użyte na nanosatelitach do realizacji misji wielosatelitarnych. W artykule opisano architektury misji (konstelacje, formacje, federacje i frakcjonowanie), a także przedstawiono przegląd zakończonych, trwających i planowanych misji wielosatelitarnych wykorzystujących nanosatelity. Omówione są obecnie wykorzystywane systemy napędowe oraz zaprezentowany jest model systemu napędowego wykorzystanego w modelu symulacyjnym satelity opracowanym przez zespół autorów.

This article presents optimisation of necessary flight thrust in a V-shaped flight formation of small-unmanned plane “Sikorka”. At the beginning is showed analyse of birds behaviour. Their formation flying was the cause of attention in order to minimalize fuel consumption. Afterwards there are overlooked scientific articles about the formation flying subject contain pure physic analyses, and articles about researches which was made in order to explain economic beneficial for airlines. Thus, the article presents mathematical model, which was optimised for three different starting position of a longitudinal axis. After optimisation there are presented results of the wingman position in regard of the leader. Influence of the calculation results on the formation flying was analysed, allowing for some conclusions about the future of the UAV’s flights. The given process is aimed to achieve the best (optimal) solution from the point of view of the specific criterion. The following most important terms can be distinguished within the optimization process: decisive variables – parameters determining the basic project assumptions. The basic design variables and design constrains are described.
