Evolution of the Orbit of the CORONAS-F Satellite and a Prediction of its Lifetime

The results of analysis of the trajectory parameters of the orbit of the CORONAS-F spacecraft since its launch (July 2001) and to the present time are reported. Two independent methods are used to compute a prediction for the active lifetime of the satellite in the near-Earth orbit for the period fr...

Zusammenfassung:The results of analysis of the trajectory parameters of the orbit of the CORONAS-F spacecraft since its launch (July 2001) and to the present time are reported. Two independent methods are used to compute a prediction for the active lifetime of the satellite in the near-Earth orbit for the period from 2005 through 2006.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
