Abstract: Abstract： The maintenance of the satellite formation configuration is crucial to the formation mission. The problem is addressed that the highprecision satellite formation control strategy is complex and difficult to implement. A bionic intelligent satellite formation based on bat flight is proposed. Firstly, the formation dynamics and graph theory are analyzed, and the behavior of bat groups in nature is summarized.A mathematical model of bat flight is given. The virtual center of formation is designed to measure the overall and partial benefits of the satellite formation, and then the bionic formation management strategy is given, the algorithm of which is clear and practical. Finally, the satellite format algorithm is used to control and verify the satellite formation configuration to achieve the stable control with high accuracy and low energy consumption.
