The report discusses the autonomous orbit control system launched aboard the synchronous communications satellite LES-6 in late 1968. The topics presented include the motivation for automatic orbit control, the measurement techniques, observability and controllability, the design of a variable limit-cycle system, automatic station acquisition, simulation, and testing. The history of the development of this control system is emphasized, and the early flight results are discussed. (Author)
