Abstract: The safe releasing velocity of small satellite which was launched from the main satellite was investigated.An analytical solution for the safe releasing velocity was presented based on the Hill equation in the constraint of the main satellite's maneuvers.The error compared with the numerical solution which has considered perturbations was at the level of 10-3m/s.This research provides a quick precise solution for the on-orbit releasing velocity design.
