Abstract
The mathematical prototypes serving as the guide specification to design collocation strategy for geostationary satellites are presented. A detailed assessment of the strategies used for efficient management of collocated satellites is provided. The relation between the separation distance with uncertainty of orbit determination (OD) and the orbit element offset is built for each pair of collocated satellites. The methods to build such relationship to meet the challenge of putting multi-geostationary satellites sharing the same position are put forward. The algorithms to allocate the longitude, eccentricity, and inclination for each satellite are given to ascertain that the mathematical prototypes are the guide specification to design collocation strategy for geostationary satellites.
