Abstract
A method for providing optimized power balanced low thrust transfer orbits utilizing split thruster execution to minimize an electric orbit raising duration of an apparatus includes monitoring an electric power balance on the apparatus. The method also includes firing a first thruster in response to the apparatus exiting an eclipse and based on the electric power balance. The method additionally includes firing a second thruster at a predetermined time delay after firing the first thruster based on the electric power balance. The method additionally includes ending firing one of the first thruster or the second thruster after a predetermined time duration based on the electric power balance. The method further includes ending firing another of the first thruster or the second thruster in response to the apparatus entering a next eclipse.
