The launch and separation of an inspecting microsatellite from a space vehicle

In this paper, the problem of the relative motion of small spacecraft is considered, taking into account their layout on the launching platform and the separation parameters. As an answer, an algorithm is proposed for finding the optimal arrangement of apparatuses on a platform and modeling their separation and subsequent motion. The results of the layout and graphs of the relative position of the launch platform and the small spacecraft, the relative position of the two separated vehicles for a certain period of time are presented.
