abstract = "The purpose of this paper is to find the necessary and the
sufficient conditions to use solar sails in order to compensate or
to reduce the perturbation effects due to external forces received
by a satellite. The study considers a satellite with the following
disturbing forces: the solar radiation pressure, the zonal
harmonic perturbation J2 to J4 and the third body perturbation due
to the Sun and the Moon. The necessary and the sufficient
conditions are, for a given orbit, the area and the attitude that
the solar sail must have in order to compensate or to reduce the
effects of the other perturbation forces. In this way, the cost of
the station keeping maneuver can be reduced in terms of the fuel
consumption, since there is less perturbation acting on the
satellite. Consequently, the lifetime of the satellite can be
extended, since it is dependent from the fuel left to perform
orbital maneuvers. The use of the integrals over the time is a new
approach that provides the accumulated effects of the perturbation
forces. In this way, it is also possible to evaluate the magnitude
of each perturbation force acting separately or all added together
and also the evaluation of the magnitude of the reduction of the
disturbing forces with the solar sail usage. The result of this
integral is also the total velocity variation that the satellite
suffers from the perturbation forces. In addition, the evaluation
of the direction of the perturbation forces can guaran-tee the use
of the solar sail to reduce the shifts caused by the external
forces acting on the satellite by applying a disturbing force from
the solar sail in the opposite direction of the other
perturbations.",
