An in-plane co-location method for geostationary satellites is improved so that it does not need multiple-part maneuvers even when there are various effective cross-section to mass ratios. The relative eccentricity-vectors between the satellites are controlled as if repulsive interaction with frictional force were applied to the terminal points of the vectors in the eccentricity-vector space. Numerical experiments confirm the validity of the improvement in a nine-satellite system,
