This paper shows a methodology for reducing the complex design process of space structures to an adequate selection of points lying on a plane. This procedure can be directly implemented in a bi-dimensional plane when we substitute (i) Euclidean geometry by bi-dimensional projection of the elliptic geometry and (ii) rotations/symmetries on the sphere by Möbius transformations on the plane. These graphs can be obtained by sites, specific points obtained by homological transformations in the inversive plane, following the analogous procedure defined previously in the three-dimensional space. From the sites, it is possible to obtain different partitions of the plane, namely, power diagrams, Voronoi diagrams, or Delaunay triangulations. The first would generate geo-tangent structures on the sphere; the second, panel structures; and the third, lattice structures.

This article presents a method for relative position and attitude control for reconfigurable space structures using magnetic force with a multi-dipole system. This technology can be applied to the docking phases of space structures that can restructure themselves by assembling basic structural units. The focus of this research is on current control of dipoles, which produces strong nonlinear magnetic forces, and on the development of a method to control a strong nonlinear electromagnetic system. In a previous study, the feasibility of using this method to perform relative position and attitude control was investigated by conducting a series of three-dimensional simulations of position and attitude control. In this study, experimental verification of the control method is conducted to determine whether magnetic forces can be used to correct position and attitude simultaneously. The good agreement obtained between the simulation results and the experimental results confirms the effectiveness of our proposed method.

The wave-coupling method is implemented here for three-dimensional transfer matrices of space structures. It should be noted that sub-transfer matrices extracted from those presented here may be used to describe the boundary conditions, which saves a lot of computer space. A numerical example verifies velocity compatibility at a joint of a three-dimensional frame.
