ABSTRACT:
At the end of the operative life of the spacecraft, when all the propellant has been consumed for the normal attitude and orbit control operations, the arcjet thrusters are connected to a feed line for being fed with the helium still remaining in the pressurant tank and the arcjet thrusters are then fired to perform the complete re-orbiting maneuver until the spacecraft is placed in a graveyard orbit.
