Orbital and rotational dynamics of solar power satellites in geosynchronous orbits

Designs for geostationary (GEO) solar power satellites (SPS) are extremely large in scale, more than one order of magnitude larger than the International Space Station. In this thesis a detailed study of the orbit dynamics of SPS is performed. Analytical equations, derived by the process of averagin...
