Global dynamics of geosynchronous space debris with high area-to-mass ratios

Global dynamics of geosynchronous space debris with high area-to-mass ratios

This Ph.D. thesis is devoted to the development of a specific semi-analytical algorithm especially well-suited to derive the long-term evolution of near geosynchronous space debris and based on the concept of mean orbital motion. In a first approach, the semi-analytical theory is concerned with the...
