A hierarchical optimization approach for spacecraft swarm trajectories considering dynamic communication topologies

•A hierarchical framework for topology optimization-based trajectory planning is developed.•Swarm communication network generation and optimization are achieved.•A complete trajectory is obtained based on convex optimization bottom-level planning. This paper investigates the spacecraft swarm traject...
