A satellite intended to travel in a constellation of satellites in an area of space in which the dominant disturbing forces and torques are for the most part caused by differential solar pressure between the satellites of the constellation comprises a satellite structure and a sunshield to prevent at least a portion of the satellite structure from being illuminated by solar rays. The reflectivity of the reflective surfaces of the sunshield is adjusted as a function of the angle of incidence of the solar rays.
