Station-Keeping Maneuvers for Geosynchronous Spacecraft
Abstract
New strategy saves fuel. Report discusses three existing strategies for maneuvers that maintain apparent position of geosynchronous satellite and present new strategy for satellite subject to daily momentum-wheel dumps. Increases useful lifetime of satellite by reducing frequencies and sizes of maneuvers, reducing rate of fuel consumption.
