The need to increase the competitiveness of commercial space missions has raised the interest in operating small spacecraft at very low altitudes, rather than larger spacecraft at higher altitudes. This paper presents a parametric study tailored to the identification of propulsion options suitable for station-keeping of satellites in the 10−100 kg class, orbiting in the altitude range 250 − 500 km.

Abstract
The need to increase the competitiveness of commercial space missions has raised the interest in operating small spacecraft at very low altitudes, rather than larger spacecraft at higher altitudes. This paper presents a parametric study tailored to the identification of propulsion options suitable for station-keeping of satellites in the 10−100 kg class, orbiting in the altitude range 250 − 500 km.
