The invention discloses a method for determining mounting parameters of
orbit control engines of satellites. The method includes determining a mounting position of each engine by the aid of included angles alpha<E>, beta <E> and gamma <E> among a normal line O<m>X<m> of an accurate measurement mirror of the engine and an axis O<sc>X<sc>, an axis O<sc>Y<sc> and an axis O<sc>Z<sc> of a mechanical coordinate
system of the corresponding
satellite and coordinates x<E>, y<E> and z<E> of the center O<m> of the accurate measurement mirror of the engine on the axis O<sc>X<sc>, the axis O<sc>Y<sc> and the axis O<sc>Z<sc> of the mechanical coordinate
system of the
satellite. The method has the advantages that change conditions of
mass centers of the satellites and
thrust vectoring thermal marking results of the engines are comprehensively considered, so that the mounting parameters of the engines can be optimally determined, disturbance torque generated in orbital transfer periods of the satellites can be reduced,
satellite propellants can be saved, and the in-
orbit lives of the satellites can be prolonged; thrust of each engine points to the average
mass center of the corresponding satellite in the corresponding
orbit transfer period, so that counterweights for the satellites can be reduced or can be omitted, and the effective load weight of each satellite can be increased.
