To minimize the exposure of a geostationary satellite to the danger of a Van Allen radioactive belt, by involving a high-thrust chemical propulsion thruster and an electric propulsion thruster, and controlling them in such a direction as they are kept away from the Van Allen radioactive belt in climbing an artificial satellite to a geostationary orbit.
A ground apparatus 21 having a software 22 which generates a maneuvering profile and a thruster profile on the earth is provided as a system 20, for orbital climb which launches an artificial satellite from a transfer orbit to a geosynchronous orbit. A satellite side equipment 23 including a software 24 which generates a thruster profile and an artificial satellite maneuvering profile on the artificial satellite is provided. On a transfer orbit, a chemical propulsion thruster is activated at the apogee of the intermediary orbit, control the perigee of the orbit so as to lift if up continuously until the satellite is away from the Van Allen radioactive belt, and then an electric propulsion thruster is activated, while a solar array is kept being illuminated by the sun.
