Solar Radiation Pressure: Averaged Analysis
2012Stating the same problem analyzed in the previous chapter as a perturbation problem allows us to introduce averaging to the dynamics of the system. In the following we show that the averaged dynamics of an orbiter subject to solar radiation pressure (SRP) and orbiting about a point mass can be solved in closed form with a very simple solution that ...

Satellite de-orbiting via controlled solar radiation pressure
Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy, 2016The goal of the present research was to study the use of solar radiation pressure to place a satellite in an orbit that makes it to re-enter the atmosphere of the Earth. This phase of the mission is usual, since the orbital space around the Earth is crowded and all satellites have to be discarded after the end of their lifetimes. The technique proposed

Solar Radiation Pressure: Exact Analysis
2012Moving beyond gravity-only dynamics about small bodies, we first consider the combined effect of solar radiation and solar tide perturbations on a spacecraft orbiting about an asteroid or comet. In this section we assume the central body can be modeled as a sphere, and neglect gravitational perturbations. This situation models orbital dynamics when far

Multiple spacecraft formation reconfiguration using solar radiation pressure
Acta Astronautica, 2014Abstract In this paper the use of solar radiation pressure for spacecraft formation reconfiguration at the L 2 Sun–Earth/Moon collinear libration point is presented. The system consisting of a leader and three follower spacecraft is considered. The leader spacecraft is assumed to be in a fixed halo trajectory and the follower spacecraft position ...

Several aspects of solar radiation pressure
2006The disturbing influence of solar radiation pressure must be taken into account in modeling GPS orbits. The mathematical description of this disturbing force is complicated. There exist several models with distinct complexity. In the special case of GPS satellites there arise difficulties because of the irregular shape and surface of the satellites and

A new solar radiation pressure model for GPS
Advances in Space Research, 1999Abstract The largest error source in GPS orbits is due to the effects of the solar radiation pressure. Over the last few years many improvements were made in modeling the orbits of GPS satellites within the IGS. However, most improvements were achieved by increasing the number of estimated orbit and/or solar radiation pressure parameters.

Model of Solar Radiation Pressure and Thermal Re-radiation
2018The non-gravitational force solar radiation pressure is the main source of error in the precise orbit determination of GNSS satellites. All deficiencies in the modeling of solar radiation pressure map into estimated terrestrial reference frame parameters as well as into derived gravity field coefficients and altimetry results when LEO orbits are ...

Torque from solar radiation pressure gradient during eclipse
Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics, 1983A general formulation is developed for calculating penumbra solar-pressure-gradient torque. A literal expression for the dependence of light intensity on position is given and the three-dimensional gradient about any point of interest in the spacecraft is computed.

New Solar Radiation Pressure Force Model for Navigation
Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics, 2010This paper presents a new force model for solar radiation pressure acting on a satellite. The model is based on a Fourier series representation of the satellite properties and the position of the sun with respect to the body. The perturbative effects on the satellite's orbit due to the solar radiation pressure are derived in full and subsequently ...
