The propulsion systems currently used to modify the orbit are of chemical nature (usually, hydrazine) but new trends in spatial propulsion point towards the use of electric systems. The use of these systems introduces new problems such as the impossibility to perform manoeuvres at eclipse epochs. A procedure is proposed here to analyze the implementation of optimal strategies in terms of electric energy consumption to satisfy the additional constraints imposed by the use of these kind of systems. eng restricted access Optimal station keeping for geostationary satellites with electric propulsion systems under eclipse constraints book part
