Orbit determination method for self-contained station-keeping systems, using observational data of only on-board sensors is formulated, and the general equations of motion which determine the motion of a satellite due to control forces in the Earth’s gravitational field is derived from Lagrange’s planetary equations and the mechanism of orbit control is discussed from the dynamical point of view using the equations. Then the effects of the perturbations of the Earth’s gravitational field on the longitudinal drift of synchronous satellite are cleared up and it is showed that the station-keeping of synchronous satellite in the Earth’s gravitational field, having no consideration for the effects of other perturbative forces, result in the control of only two parameters α and L.
