ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A satellite comprises at least one surface intended mainly for exposure to solar radiation and extending away from the satellite in a predetermined direction, an on-board computer having connected thereto an attitude sensing system, an orbit control system for imparting thrust to the satellite along predetermined axes, and an attitude control system. Said satellite further comprises a device for controlling the tilt of said surface in parallel with a plurality of planes containing said predetermined direction (and therefore particularly in parallel with the plane of a solar panel forming said surface). Said tilt control device is controlled by said on-board computer. Said tilting can generate a moment of pitch or relocate the centre of gravity onto the axis of the orbit control system.
