Systems analysis approach to problems involved in obtaining and maintaining 24-hr equatorial satellite; consideration of orbit ascent, initial longitude positioning, and control of satellite drift away from desired stationary longitude; orbit control system, including ground based tracking and command stations, computations and control center, and satellite subsystems, which will provide satisfactory stationary orbit is synthesized; capability of control system was tested by computer simulation; results indicate that synthesized system provides satisfactory stationary orbit in presence of likely system errors.
