Effort performed to identify a low cost maneuver strategy is summarized. The strategy provides a great advantage with respect to the total delta-V required for a period of one year. According to a preliminary analysis a small satellite can be conceived to support high inclined orbit missions, being the expected resulting propellant mass for a lifetime of 7 years of about 4 kg.
