Drag perturbations in artificial satellite orbital motion based on the Total Density model

Analytical expressions for the aerodynamic drag perturbations undergone by five independent orbital elements of an artificial satellite moving in an orbit with small eccentricity, over a nodal period, are established. All three components of the perturbing acceleration are taken into account. The TD...

Zusammenfassung:Analytical expressions for the aerodynamic drag perturbations undergone by five independent orbital elements of an artificial satellite moving in an orbit with small eccentricity, over a nodal period, are established. All three components of the perturbing acceleration are taken into account. The TD model is used to describe the density distribution of the upper atmosphere.
