A satellite designed to be spin-stabilized in geostationary orbit which has, coaxial with a spin rotation axis, a satellite body surrounded with a cylindrical solar generator, an apogee maneuver system disposed along the axis and two axially disposed equipments. The apogee maneuver system has opposite one of the equipments at least two thrusters oriented parallel to the axis but offset relative thereto by the same distance. Equi-angularly spaced around the other of the two equipments, the thrusters are connected to a common liquid propellant feed system.
