ABSTRACT:
A geostationary telecommunication satellite has a platform pointed towards the sun and a payload that is rotatable so as to point always toward the Earth. A method of placing this satellite in its final orbit entails using the inertia wheel of the satellite together with its sensors and possibly its two-axis rate gyro to secure attitude control of the satellite during the transfer, that is while in the transfer orbit and during the apogee burn.
