Firstly, we will explain the motivation of having plasma thrusters for the attitude control of geostationary satellites. Then we will give some results obtained in the study of two different problems, namely the simulation of the electron population, and the resolution of a highly anisotropic elliptic problem. For the simulation of the electrons, we developed an asymptotic model relying on kinetic equations, and the resulting code provides an alternative to the very CPU-expensive Monte Carlo method. We obtain comparable results while the execution time is divided by a factor about 100. In a second time, we studied a highly anisotropic problem in two dimensions, which was investigated after having proposed a finite volume scheme. This work is still under progress.
