  • Thruster arrangement for geosynchronous orbit spacecraft
    Patent number: 10183765
    Abstract: According to some aspects of the subject disclosure, a spacecraft comprises first and second pluralities of thrusters. The pluralities of thrusters are attached to a spacecraft body by booms configured to move the first plurality of thrusters between stowed and deployed positions. The deployed position of the first plurality of thrusters is farther north than is the stowed position of the first plurality of thrusters. The deployed position of the second plurality of thrusters is farther south than is the stowed position of the second plurality of thrusters. The first plurality of thrusters comprises a first thruster and a second thruster separated from each other in an east-west direction. The second plurality of thrusters comprises a third thruster and a fourth thruster separated from each other in the east-west direction.
