Technique allows perigee to decay to pre-established lower switching level, then applies low circumferential thrust greater than air drag force to drive perigee to upper switching level at which thrust is removed; procedure tends to circularize orbit, avoids difficulty of trying to exactly balance drag forces with low thrust and is more efficient in total impulse than some sustaining techniques.
