METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING A SET OF AT LEAST TWO SATELLITES, DESIGNED TO PROVIDE A SERVICE ON A GEOSTATIONARY ORBIT, RENDERING SAID SERVICE ON A NON-GEOSTATIONARY ORBIT

摘要

Method for controlling a set of at least two satellites (S1, S2), designed to provide a service on a geostationary orbit, rendering said service on a non- geostationary orbit, in which means involved in the performance of said service, installed on board a satellite (S1, S2), are deactivated when the sun can damage it, and means involved in the performance of said service installed on board another satellite (S1, S2) of the set are activated, when this is necessary to the continuity of the service.
