A method for orbit control of a satellite in orbit around the Earth and for desaturation of an angular momentum storage device of satellite is disclosed having two articulated arms each supporting a propulsion unit. The method includes determining a maneuver plan having at least two thrust maneuvers, a first thrust maneuver to be executed using the propulsion unit of one of the articulated arms and a second thrust maneuver to be executed using the propulsion unit of the other articulated arm, controlling the articulated arms and the propulsion units according to the maneuver plan, at least one of the first and second thrust maneuvers being a thrust maneuver referred to as discontinuous, composed of at least two separate consecutive thrust sub-maneuvers.
