This paper deals with the study of low-cost orbital positioning for the overall class of small satellites with orbital constraints. The paper proposes an integrated approach for satellite subsystems design in order to provide a greater number of possibilities for low cost launch. Low cost launches can be generally achieved with piggyback or shared launch approaches. In both cases, the small satellite has to correct its orbit from the release to the final one. The correction of the orbit can be performed by using the multiple burns technique. The paper addresses the above issue and provides computation of the propellant mass needed for the orbital transfer.
