Summary:This paper provides a solution to a class of satellites' formations reconfiguration and keeping problems under input-saturation and formation accuracy constraints and subject to persistent disturbances. Both relative position and attitude dynamics have been considered. The proposed control scheme aims at producing, provided that the initial conditions are admissible, system evolutions that fulfill the coordination constraints at any time and satisfy desirable control performance. This is accomplished by resorting to the Command Governor approach. An example is provided for showing the effectiveness of the technique.
