Analyze of multistage transfer orbit to reach the GEO orbit in a rotational symmetric gravitational field

摘要

Placing satellites in geostationary obital (GEO) is propellant exigeant. Itrequires large propellant consumption that will take a large part of the totalmass. Hence the interest is reduce the mass of propellant loaded both in therocket and the satellite. Both for improving selection of transfer orbits andpropellant. In this paper we give a reiew of analysis of launching of satellite to GEOusing multistage transfer orbit in order to reduce the mass of propellant.Making this analysis complete, the effect of the general relativity regardingelliptical transfer orbit and its potensial utilization will be brieflyreviewed.
