Abstract
Communication, Ocean, and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) Flight Dynamics Software (FDS) provides spacecraft orbit related flight dynamics support. In this paper, North-South Station Keeping (NSSK) maneuver planning, one of the important spacecraft flight operations, is performed using Maximum Compensation Target (MCT), Track-Back Chord Target (TBCT), and Minimum Fuel Target (MFT) strategies, respectively. The NSSK simulation result for one year appears that COMS is well maintained within 0.05° limit boundary for all strategies. However, calculated yearly required velocity increments and consumed fuel shows that TBCT and MFT strategy are appropriate to COMS NSSK maneuver.
