Abstract
A system includes a satellite assembly. The assembly includes a plurality of satellite devices, where each satellite device includes a processor device, an impulse actuator, and a memory storing instructions. The instructions are executable by the processor device to access a sequence of waypoints. The sequence of waypoints identifies a first waypoint and is associated with formation of a distributed structure including the plurality of satellite devices. The instructions are further executable by the processor device to initiate movement of the satellite device toward the first waypoint at least by initiating activation of the impulse actuator.
