For a geostationary satellite north-south station keeping maneuver must control the inclination elements.The effects on the orbit plane of maneuvers and natural perturbations may here be represented by a plane plot of Wc versus Ws, since these read more inclination elements represent the projection of the unit orbit normal onto the equatorial plane.The evolution of the semi-major axis and the inclination elements are obtained.
