| description | The influence of the natural perturbation force will cause the eccentricity of the GEO satellite to produce a periodic motion with a period of years, and then cause the east–west station of the GEO satellite to oscillate. From the perspective of the best fuel-saving or the failure of the thruster used for station keeping, some scholars have proposed a method of slightly deflecting the thrust used for north–south station keeping (NSSK) to the east or west to achieve the integrated keeping of inclination and longitude. The disadvantage of this strategy is that the eccentricity cannot be maintained, and even causes the continuous divergence of the eccentricity. Based on the above problems, this paper proposes a low fuel consumption keeping method for eccentricity under the integrated maintenance of inclination and longitude. Assuming that the satellite is only equipped with a south (north) direction thruster for station keeping, on the premise of not affecting the satellite’s Earth observation, the satellite’s forward flight and backward flight are switched every year at the spring equinox and autumn equinox, which can prevent the eccentricity divergence when performing mean longitude keeping. When the accuracy of the east–west station keeping is not pursued, this method can not only effectively save the fuel consumption of the station keeping, but also greatly reduce the number of eccentricity maintenance interventions and the interference to the whole satellite due to the eccentricity keeping, which has a certain engineering application value. |
