Abstract: The distributed satellite consisted of many small satellites flying in formation is equivalent to or even exceed the capability of a single large satellite,which is referred as “virtual satellite”.The formation flying opens up a new application for small satellites.The conception fo formation flying and its orbital configuration are presented.Then some possible applications of virtual satellite are discussed.
