Abstract: Using inclination vector as a non-singular orbital element, engineering oriented mathematical models for inclination control of geosta- tionary orbit are established,and unified optimal strategies for inclination control both in north-south station aquisition and north-south station keeping derived.The results are applicable to the missions which require north-south station keeping accuracy of 0.05°~0.1° and have been implemented in flight control of the Chinese STW-2 satellite.

Key words: Geosynchronous orbit, Orbital control, Optimal strategy
