Abstract

A method of make use of Lunar Gravitation (LG) to launch GeostationarySatellite (GS) at high latitude is preselited- At first, preliminary anaJysis of theproblem of launching GS is given using patchedconic technique. Then, preciseanalysis is given in a mathematical model. It is indicated that less energy is neededto launch GS from launch site with latitude higher than 28° using LG method thanthe traditional. The higher the launching site is, the more energy is saved.
