Abstract
We study the dynamics of the relative motion of
satellites in the gravitational field of the Earth, including
the effects of the bulge of the Earth (the J_2
effect). Using Routh reduction and dynamical systems
ideas, a method is found that locates orbits
such that a cluster of satellites remains close with
very little dispersing, even with no controls.
