Instead of keeping a satellite in a geostationary orbit, it is possible to employ a motorized antenna technology to track (i.e. maintain contact with) the satellite’s natural figure-eight orbit, into which the satellite is placed from the start. This is known as an inclined-orbit satellite system.

Allowing the satellite to oscillate with the natural gravitational pull dramatically saves on fuel, savings that can be passed on to the customer. This inclined orbit pattern greatly extends the satellite lifespan as well as dramatically reducing operational costs over the life of the satellite.

Once a satellite has been placed accurately into its geostationary orbit, it gradually starts to drift north-south on a daily basis, due to the gravitational influence of the sun and moon. If left alone, a satellite that starts out with zero inclination gradually moves into a figure-eight orbit, putting it out of the range of reliable antenna communication.

Keeping a traditional satellite in its geostationary orbit requires activating thrusters powered by large supplies of rocket fuel. To maintain the satellite’s original orbit, these fuel-powered thrusters are activated in bursts every few weeks. This “station-kept” satellite technique corrects the continual trending toward orbit inclination increases, but requires a substantial supply of expensive rocket fuel. Eventually, the fuel supply ends, effectively ending the life of the satellite.
