This paper introduces an algorithm that guarantees formation initialization for deep space formations with arbitrary initial conditions and derives a bound on the initialization time. The initialization algorithm incorporates realistic deep space mission constraints and applies to N-spacecraft formations. A 150,000-case Monte Carlo analysis is then used to characterize a distribution of initialization times. It is shown that for the most challenging cases the formation will be initialized while requiring only limited inter-spacecraft communication and coordination.
