Control acceleration magnitudes for the linear astronomical interferometer in LEO. The left panel shows the contour map of the control acceleration magnitudes with respect to the separation (defined as ρ_y) and altitude. The control magnitudes against the secular and long-period drifts of the eccentricity vector owing to lunisolar gravity were sufficiently smaller than 10⁻⁹ m s⁻² in the plotted region. The right panel shows the control acceleration magnitudes at the desired separation (0.1 km) with respect to the semimajor axis. The lunisolar gravity and the secular and long-period drifts of the eccentricity vector owing to lunisolar gravity were removed from the figure because their magnitudes were sufficiently smaller than 10⁻⁹ m s⁻².
