METHOD FOR BRINGING A GEOSTATIONARY SPACECRAFT TO A GIVEN ORBITAL POSITION AND TRANSFERRING IT TO A NEW ORBITAL POSITION Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC B64G1/24 B64G1/10 

FIELD: space technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the management, mainly of information satellite systems. The method for bringing a geostationary spacecraft (GS) to a location point and transferring it to a new orbital position includes measuring the current navigation parameters of the GS, calculating the parameters of the orbit correction and the operation of the correction system engines. At the same time, at the stage of drift to a given longitude, the issues of collocation are solved by choosing its optimal scheme and implementing it in the mode of removing the GS from the third-party GSs located in the retention area (RA). This eliminates the possibility of a dangerous rapprochement of the GS with third-party GS at the end of the stage of its reduction (transfer) to the required orbital position and before the start of the regular functioning of the GS in the RA.

EFFECT: creation and preservation within the framework of the GS reduction (transfer) maneuvers of the collocation conditions when retaining the GS in the working RA in longitude and latitude.
