The method is based on a linearization of the satellite motion near a reference orbit. Two versions of the method allow station keeping both in an assigned position and in any position of the orbit. The method is fully analytical for the two-body problem and takes a simpler form for the circular assigned orbit. The suggested method may also be used in the case when constraints are imposed on the thrust direction due to specific features of the satellite stabilization mode. An application of the method to any force field is shown. Illustrative examples of satellite station keeping in a circular orbit are given. Both cases of the station keeping, i.e., in an assigned position and in an assigned orbit, are considered without and with a constraint on the thrust direction. %8 Dec. %N 11 %T On one approach to the optimization of low-thrust station keeping manoeuvres %@electronicmailaddress %@electronicmailaddress prado@dem.inpe.br %@secondarytype PRE PI %K Astrodinâmica, Manobras Orbitais, Manobras Espaciais. %@archivingpolicy denypublisher denyfinaldraft24 %@usergroup administrator %@usergroup banon %@usergroup lattes %@usergroup marciana %@group %@group DMC-ETE-INPE-MCTI-GOV-BR %@e-mailaddress prado@dem.inpe.br %@secondarykey INPE--PRE/ %@secondarymark B4_ASTRONOMIA_/_FÍSICA B3_CIÊNCIAS_BIOLÓGICAS_I B1_ENGENHARIAS_III B1_ENGENHARIAS_IV B1_GEOCIÊNCIAS B1_INTERDISCIPLINAR %F lattes: 7340081273816424 2 SukhanovPrad:2012:OnApOp %@issn 0273-1177 %2 dpi.inpe.br/plutao/2012/11.28.14.05.42 %@affiliation Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 117997, 84/32 Profsoyuznaya Str, Moscow, Russia %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %B Advances in Space Research %@versiontype publisher %P 1478-1488 %4 dpi.inpe.br/plutao/2012/11.28.14.05.41 %@documentstage not transferred %D 2012 %V 50 %@doi 10.1016/j.asr.2012.07.028 %A Sukhanov, A.
