Parametric optimization study is carried out on performance measure for assessing the benefits of relevant ground-track parameters and Instantaneous Overlap Area (IOA) in near earth and near-equatorial twin-satellite formation flying to explore its potential as space platform oriented towards Tropical Resources and Environment Monitoring mission. The present study also emphasizes two aspects: the dynamics of relative motion of multiple spacecrafts and the desirable ground tracks such missions. Relative motion dynamics incorporating Clohessy-Wiltshire Equation for circular orbits is used as a reference. The performance metric is synthesized as a tradeoff between exact definition and intuitive judgment.
