The paper describes how to solve the problem of the orbit correction thrusters’ distribution on board the geostationary satellite. It is necessary to simultaneously correct orbital parameters, which means to change the characteristic velocity in the local horizon plane, and provide reaction wheels desaturation. Moreover, the paper determines the required number of thrusters, providing the system operability even if one thruster fails.
