             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.",
