The advantages of using atmospheric braking for space tug maneuvers during the transfer into low geostationary orbit are presented. Thermal radiative protection problems and their effects on the space tug configurations are investigated for a space tug returning from a geostationary orbit. The proper heat protection is a radiative shielding. It is concluded that for presently estimated tug masses (4000 to 8000 lb) atmospheric braking is the more economic system.
