             abstract = "This paper studies orbital maneuvers for a spacecraft that has the 
                         goal of performing station keeping in its orbit. This type of 
                         maneuver is necessary in order to compensate the effects of 
                         perturbations in the orbit of a spacecraft that needs to stay in a 
                         specific orbit to be able to perform its mission. It will use a 
                         low thrust to achieve this task. To do this, it is also important 
                         to find solutions that minimize the fuel consumption, since fuel 
                         will also be required for other tasks of the mission. To solve 
                         this problem, the present research uses a hybrid optimal control 
                         approach to numerically approach the problem, where the question 
                         of the accuracy of the satisfaction of the constraints is 
                         considered. The spacecraft is assumed to have its motion 
                         controlled by the gravity field of the Earth and the forces 
                         delivered by the thrusts. These thrusts have fixed magnitude and 
                         operates in an on-off mode. Numerical results are presented.",
