Short summary
Multiple spacecraft can operate jointly to detect quantities that are unattainable with a single spacecraft. Present constellations typically consist of four spacecraft, and it is established that a planar distribution of the spacecraft should be avoided. This study addresses the configuration problem for future missions of more spacecraft to measure physical gradients of higher orders. As for quadratic gradients, spacecraft must not be on any quadric surface, such as a sphere or cylinder.
