ABSTRACT:
In an apparatus for orbit control of at least two co-located geostationary satellites a single interface is provided in the form of an orbit database for exchanging orbit and maneuver data between four independent decoupled function blocks of an orbit control system having a matched function scope, i.e. between a first function block for orbit determination and maneuver estimation/maneuver calibration, a second function block for maneuver planning, a third function block for monitoring the relative movement and a fourth function block for predicting specific events and ephemerides (FIG. 1)
