Transfer trajectory design for a shuttle launched geosynchronous payload

Abstract

The firing of a fixed impulse spin stabilized upper stage following shuttle deployment of a geosynchronous payload was examined in detail. Design of the transfer trajectory was discussed in terms of finding both a nominal and possible dispersion case that can be handled operationally within the allotted trim fuel budget.
