Abstract This paper covers an analysis on the use of a hybrid propulsion system for the Low Earth Orbits to Geostationary Orbit transfer, while addressing issues related to the environment encountered during the orbit raising. This feasibility study is based on the proposal [1] by La Sapienza for a compact and efficient telecommunications satellite, compatible with a launch of the Vega space transport system and characterized by the use of electric propulsion for the orbital transfer. The idea of a Vega compatible telecommunications satellite mission falls within the lines of re-launch of satellite telecommunications programs by the Italian Space Agency with missions already under development and with a view to enhance and strengthen the domestic industry and the systemic capabilities already pride of the country. In addition, the synergy with the Vega launcher, and its potential developments, encourage developments of great interest for the role of Europe in the launch activities, extending its potentials.
