The theory of stationkeeping is presented, and the operational stationkeeping of Symphonie is described. Orbit correction strategies are based on either minimum fuel consumption or optimization of the time between two necessary orbit correction maneuvers. The effects of perturbations due to triaxiality of the earth's shape, solar and lunar gravitation, and solar radiation pressure are taken into account.
