The first experimental European communications satellite Symphonie is a geostationary satellite. The satellite is designed and built in a joint project by French and German aerospace firms. A description is given of the basic technical concept of the satellite. The apogee motor is discussed along with the satellite stabilization system. The stabilization system provides a three-axis positional stabilization and an orbital stabilization. Attention is given to the spin stabilization phase, the sensors employed, the approache used for orbital correction maneuvers, and the conduction of simulation tests on the ground.
