Study of orbital elements on the neighbourhood of a frozen orbit [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of Aerospace Engineering, Sciences and Applications, 2008
Frozen orbits are studied, including perturbations due to J5 harmonic and atmospheric drag. Non- singular variables are introduced according to non-singular theory used at INPE Satellite Tracking and Control Center (CRC). Using CBERS-1 (China Brazil Earth Resources Satellite) satellite's data, results are compared with those used nowadays at the INPE ...

The geopotential in nonsingular orbital elements

Celestial Mechanics, 1977
Singularities are eliminated from the geopotential and its partial derivatives for zero eccentricity and inclination, and an expression for the geopotential expansion based entirely on nonsingular orbital elements is developed. The argument relies on the treatments of the geopotential function given by Izsak (1964), Allan (1965) and Kaula (1966); the ...

Time elements in Keplerian orbital elements

Celestial Mechanics, 1981
Time elements are introduced in terms of Keplerian (classical) orbital elements for use with time transformations of the Sundman type. Three different time elements are introduced. One time element is associated with the eccentric anomaly, a second time element is associated with the true anomaly, and a third time element is associated with the ...

The Elements of Spectroscopic Orbits

1978
The orbit is based on only one measured function, namely the radial velocity V of a star (relative to the sun) at different times. Call γ the radial velocity of the mass center of the binary (a constant unless a third body is involved), and z= dz/dt the radial part of the orbital velocity of the observed component relative to the mass center: $$V =

Orbital elements of surprise

2012
I was hom in Bradford, West Yorkshire in 1950 and by the age of ten I had developed an interest, like many children, in prehistoric animals and astronomy. In 1962 the first American piloted orbital flights began and my teacher at Wibsey Junior School, Mr Slater, brought a radio into the classroom so that we could listen to these flights.

Elements of a Chemical Orbital Theory

2009
Interaction is important in chemistry. Interactions of atoms form chemical bonds. Bonds interact with each other in molecules to determine the molecular properties. Interactions of molecules give rise to chemical reactions. Electrons control atoms, bonds, and molecules.

Survey of Orbit Element Sets

Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics, 2008
A SURVEY of orbit element sets was conducted as part of a research and technology development task [1] which sought to develop feedback control laws and prototype tools for computing feasible, low-thrust transfers in multibody environments, where at least two celestial bodies exert significant gravitational influence on the spacecraft.

Secular Variations of the Orbital Elements

1989
If a point satellite is orbiting a master, whose mass distribution is not perfectly spherical, then the elements of the satellite orbit are subject to variations, which depend upon the shape of the master mass. These variations are small when compared to the orbital elements themselves.

On the determination of meteoroid orbital elements

Planetary and Space Science, 1994
The classical method of the determination of the orbital elements of meteoroids is based on a sequence of corrections applied to the velocity vector of an observed meteor. The main aim of such an approach is the determination of the meteoroid's motion under the gravitational influence of the Sun but we are able to observe this motion only under the ...
