The article describes the analysis of the schemes of completing spacecraft launch into
geostationary orbit (GSO ) using the electric propulsion system, the assessment of pro-
pellant mass and time consumption, and the required values of these parameters for
completing spacecraft launch into the geostationary orbit from a transfer orbit. The fami-
ly of transfer orbits was compared to determine the effectiveness of completing spacecraft
launch. The problems associated with spacecraft stay in Earth's radiation belt are dis-
cussed. The advantages of completing launch of the spacecraft equipped with electric
propulsion systems into the GSO are demonstrated.
Keywords:
spacecraft, geostationary orbit, transfer orbit, electric propulsion system,
effectiveness of completing spacecraft launch.
