The latest edition of the weekly New ScientisT ( Sept 26 in Australia),
( Sept 24 in UK/elsewhere), has a article "Follow my leader" by
Catherine Zandonella about FUTURE use of satellites and spacecraft
in formation. Interestly no mention at all of NOSS objects!!!
The next generation of radar spysats will only be meter sized
cubes by the look of it, rather harder to see than Lacrosse!
Mentions the use of "Hill's orbits" without further explanation.
Can anyone give me a reference to such orbit families. I couldnt
find one in title or keywords of papers in NASA's ADS database
or the LANL preprint collection.
