  • Method for maintaining the position of geostationary satellites
    Patent number: 6457679
    Abstract: In a method for maintaining the orbital position of a geostationary satellite by compensating perturbational effects of interfering influences, a range of the satellite orbit is determined, relative to a space-fixed reference system, in which the perturbational effects on the satellite position by the interfering influences reaches a maximum. Position maintaining actuators of the satellite are activated within the determined range.
