Orbit control of a synchronous satellite
Abstract
The choice of a control strategy for the transfer of a synchronous satellite (SS) from the injection longitude to the operating longitude is considered. Attention is given to methods for controlling the longitudinal and latitudinal position of an SS with an accuracy that meets international standards. Particular consideration is given to the change in stationary-orbit elements under impulse control, the use of low thrust to transfer an SS, and stabilization of the orbital position of an SS.
