1. Process for placing an artificial satellite (7) on geostationary orbit, said satellite being supplied with electrical energy by means of two main generators of the photovoltaic type disposed symmetrically with respect to the body of said satellite, this satellite being placed on an intermediate transfer orbit (3), before being placed on its geostationary orbit (6) by the action of at least an apogee motor, and being stabilised along three of its axes both on its transfer orbit and on its geostationary orbit, the electrical energy necessary for the satellite during its passage to the geostationary orbit being obtained by exposing to the sun two photovoltaic generators which are extendable symmetrically with respect to one of the main axes of said satellite, characterized in that the electrical energy necessary for the satellite during its course of the transfer orbit and during its passage from this orbit to the geostationary orbit is obtained by exposing to the sun two symmetrical portions (14, 19, 26a, 27a, 34) of each of the two main photovoltaic generators, said symmetrical portions (14, 19, 26a, 27a, 34) corresponding to a partial extension of said main photovoltaic generators and exposing of the whole of said generators being made only after functioning of said apogee motor. |
