Abstract
In Chap. 2, we introduced design methods of large elliptical orbit for different mission requirements with examples, which are aimed at the orbit of the single spacecraft. In this chapter, we will introduce the orbit design method of the multi-spacecraft formation in the elliptical orbit, that is, the relative configuration design method of the formation flight.
