This paper deals with the problem of determining an analytical control law capable of maintaining highly elliptical heliosynchronous polar orbits around Venus. The problem is addressed using the Smart Dust concept, a propellantless propulsion system that extracts momentum from the solar radiation pressure using a reflective coating. The modulation of the thrust magnitude is performed by exploiting the property of electrochromic materials of changing their optical characteristics through the application of a suitable electrical voltage. The propulsive acceleration can, therefore, be switched from a minimum to a maximum value (or vice versa) so as to obtain a simple on–off control law. The required Smart Dust performance is described in closed form as a function of the semimajor axis and eccentricity of the working orbit. The soundness of the analytical control law is validated through a numerical integration of the equations of motion, in which the orbital perturbations due to the oblateness of Venus and to the gravitational attraction of the Sun are also included.
