Summary
This paper outlines the trajectory and maneuver design of the Space Technology 5 (ST5) mission constellation. Design challenges for the release and deployment of the three ST5 spacecraft into a highly elliptic orbit include collision avoidance, limited delta-v budget, and coupled attitude and orbit maneuver dynamics. The derived requirements levied on STSs subsystems and the launch vehicle for the successful release and deployment of the constellation are outlined. A maneuver strategy for deployment is given, as well as a delta-v budget showing appropriate margin for contingency.
