Abstract: In process of designing a constellation which has a large quantity of satellites,the possibility of collision between satellites should be considered.The collision events must be avoided in constellation design.A research on proper collide above equator is introduced at first.Further,the movement rule of relative distance between satellites is given in terms of generalized collision.Some methods to avoid collision in constellation design are also given.This paper provide some useful results for constellation design.
