Variation of Radius Vector of an Artificial Satellite by Cowell's Method
Variation of radius vector was computed by Cowell's method. Perturbations due to the Sun, moon, and earth's asymmetrical potential are considered. We summarize our results as follow: i) J2 term does not affect the equatorial orbit. ii) Large perturbation and secular variation on the above...

| Summary: | Variation of radius vector was computed by Cowell's method. Perturbations due to the Sun, moon, and earth's asymmetrical potential are considered. We summarize our results as follow: i) J2 term does not affect the equatorial orbit. ii) Large perturbation and secular variation on the above orbit are caused by tesseral harmonics. iii) The other perturbations have small effect and periodicity. |
