The effect of attitude corrections for geostationary satellite stationkeeping by means of ion thrustors was investigated. It is essential to control perturbations induced in the orbital plane. These perturbations will closely depend on the attitude guidance mode during thrust. A model was set up for the evolution of the orbital plane, as well as a model for the in-plane perturbing effect. Three different hypotheses were chosen for the attitude guidance mode. The effect of the corrections on the in-plane orbital elements for each one is described. The results should be useful for feasibility studies of inclination corrections by ion thrustors.
