Resumo: This paper presents a study about the tetrahedral layout of four satellites in a way that every half-orbital period this set groups together while flying in formation. The formation is calculated analyzing the problem from a geometrical perspective and disposed by precisely adjusting the orbital parameters of each satellite. The dynamic modelling considers the orbital motion equations. The results are analyzed, compared and discussed. A detection algorithm is used as flag to signal the regular tetrahedron's exact moments of occurrence. To do so, the volume calculated during the simulation is compared to the real volume, based on the initial conditions of the exact moment of formation and respecting a tolerance. This tolerance value is stablished arbitrarily depending on the mission and the formation's geometrical parameters. The simulations will run on a computational environment.
