Abstract:
A system for positioning at least one satellite in working orbit, characterized in that the system for positioning satellites in working orbit comprises: a first attachment device configured to attach a first satellite to the system for positioning satellites in working orbit; a main propulsion device with solid propulsion comprising a plurality of parallel solid-propellant cartridges; a secondary propulsion device which is re-ignitable; at least one position sensor configured to measure the position of said system; a monitoring unit connected to said at least one position sensor and which is configured to control a firing of the cartridges of the main propulsion device to move said system from a transfer orbit to a working orbit of the first satellite, said monitoring unit being further configured to control an opening of the first attachment device to separate said system from the first satellite.
