A New Solar Radiation Pressure Model for GPS Satellites [PDF]
GPS Solutions, 1999 The largest error in currently used GPS orbit models is due to the effect of solar radiation pressure. Over the last few years many improvements were made in modeling the orbits of GPS satellites within the International GPS Service (IGS). Howeer, most improvements were achieved by increasing the number of estimated orbit and/or solar radiation ...

Passive Sorting of Asteroid Material Using Solar Radiation Pressure [PDF]
Journal of Guidance, Control, and Dynamics, 2014 Understanding dust dynamics in the vicinity of asteroids is key for future science missions and, in the long-term, for asteroid exploitation. This paper analyzes the feasibility of manipulating asteroid material by means of solar radiation pressure. A novel method is proposed for passively sorting material as a function of its grain size or density ...
