Orbital dynamics of high area-to-mass ratio spacecraft with J2 and solar radiation pressure for novel Earth observation and communication services [PDF]
Acta Astronautica, 2012 This paper investigates the effect of planetary oblateness and solar radiation pressure on the orbits of high area-to-mass spacecraft. A planar Hamiltonian model shows the existence of equilibrium orbits with the orbit apogee pointing towards or away ...

Effects of Solar Radiation Pressure on Earth Satellite Orbits
Science, 1960Calculations show that, at a mean altitude of 1000 miles, radiation pressure can displace the orbit of the 100-foot Echo balloon at rates up to 3.7 miles per day, the orbit of the 12-foot Beacon satellite at 0.7 mile per day. For certain resonant conditions this effect accumulates, drastically affecting the satellite's lifetime.

Impact of solar radiation pressure modeling on orbital dynamics in the vicinity of binary asteroids
Acta Astronautica, 2019Missions to asteroids are now an important component of the space exploration program of major space agencies in the world, with the goal of better understanding the formation of the Solar system and learn about their dynamics to be able to react in case

Time-varying solar radiation pressure on Ajisai in comparison with LAGEOS satellites
Advances in Space Research, 2019This study aims to investigate solar radiation pressure acting on the spherical geodetic satellites, Ajisai, LAGEOS-1, and LAGEOS-2. The solar radiation pressure coefficients ( C R ) are derived in two independent ways: (a) through precise orbit ...

Variation of sodium on mercury with solar radiation pressure
Icarus, 1987It has been suggested that nonthermal Na atoms with velocities in excess of 2.1 km/sec in the Mercury atmosphere can be accelerated off the planet by solar radiation pressure; Na abundance may accordingly be expected to decrease with increasing radiation pressure.

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.

The source of motive force for solar sail spacecraft is the momentum transported to the sail by radiative energy from the Sun. While the observation that light can push matter is quite contrary to everyday experience, it is a commonplace mechanism in the solar system. Perhaps the most striking example is the elegant beauty of comet tails.

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 ...

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 ...
