The paper describes the first twelve plus years of arcjet use to perform all North South Stationkeeping on the SES AMC-1 (originally designated GE-1) A2100TM Geostationary Telecommunications Satellite (Figure 1). More than 600 hours of arcjet operation were employed in approximately 600 separate maneuvers to achieve the desired orbit maintenance. The spacecraft involved is the very first A2100TM and almost all maneuvers have been done on a single arcjet pair. This pair of Aerojet MR-510 arcjets has now provided more than 800,000 N-s of total-impulse, corresponding to a throughput of approximately 140 kg of hydrazine. Details of the arcjet subsystem, spacecraft bus and an overview of mission plan from an arcjet utilization point of vie will be provided. |
