Abstract

See full text

A method is provided for controlling a set of at least two satellites adapted to provide a service used by at least one portion of the set of the said satellites at a given moment, in which, continuously or pseudo-continuously, a mean value of the longitudes of the respective ascending nodes of each satellite is computed, and, for each satellite, a correction of trajectory of the satellite is applied by regulating the longitude of the ascending node on a setpoint equal to said current mean value.
