We consider the optimization problem of the geostationary satellite orbital positions, which is very fundamental and important in setting up the new satellite launching plan. We convert the problem into a discrete optimization problem. However, the converted problem is too complex to find an optimal solution. Therefore, we develop the solution procedures using simulated annealing technique. The results of applying our method to some examples are reported.
