Abstract
The satellite launched in August 1992 has an in-orbit maneuverability for the first time in China's Recoverable Satellite Program. The maneuverability is dedicated to orbit-maintenance. The constitution, operation principle and maneuver strategy are presented. The flight results agree well with the theoretical predictions.
