FIELD: space technology.
SUBSTANCE: servicing satellite for providing services of position maintenance for a main satellite can have a body and a gripping mechanism. The gripping mechanism can be made with the possibility of attachment to a docking ring to form a connection between the main satellite and the servicing satellite. The attachment of the gripping mechanism to the docking ring can form a connected block with a combined mass center. The servicing satellite can have at least two engines and at least one controller. The mentioned at least one controller can maintain the connected block on a stationary orbit by means of selective orientation of the mentioned two engines in such a way that thrust vectors of the mentioned two engines do not pass through the combined mass center, and each of them is displaced from the combined mass center. A method for providing services of position maintenance for the main satellite includes stages of movement and positioning of the main satellite using the servicing satellite.
EFFECT: providing the elongation of the service life of the main satellite.
