Danielson, Donald A. Frensen, Christopher L. Naval Postgraduate School (U.S.) Applied Mathematics Approved for public release, distribution unlimited The main problem of artificial satellite theory is a restricted two body problem in which the Legendre Polynomial representation of the cylindrically symmetric potential contains only the first two terms. A generalized asymptotic expansion is used to obtain a first order approximation. The solution at the critical inclination is seen to be of a different type than at other inclinations. The solution is finite for all eccentricities and inclinations when suitably restricted in time. 2013-04-11T22:14:54Z 2013-04-11T22:14:54Z 1990-06 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10945/30662 en_US This publication is a work of the U.S. Government as defined in Title 17, United States Code, Section 101.
