Control strategies to maintain spacecraft formation flying and constellation station keeping orbits are presented in this paper. For small or nanosatellites, the potential control thruster used in orbital control could be of the low-thrust type. The control methods that can adapt to different thrust levels without compromising the system performance and the mission task are investigated. Autonomous algorithms (analytic solutions that can be easily executed in real-time) that can be easily implemented on board are considered at the same time to reduce the overall cost of the mission.
