Scientific paper

The use of an orbital propulsion module (OPM) to place one or more satellites into GEO or geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) from LEO is discussed. Particular attention is given to the total and useful payload mass performance from LEO to GTO or GEO delivered by a liquid OPM for a dual satellite launch. Comparisons are made with the performance offered by the solid perigree stages bolted to each individual spacecraft in the dual stack. It is found that the pump fed liquid perigee stage offers the highest useful payload to both GTO and GEO.
