Title: Structure of perturbations in the orbital motion of navigational earth satellites similar to Navstar

Journal Article · · Cosmic Res. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:7106367

Numerical methods are used to study the structure of perturbations in the orbital motion of navigational earth satellites similar to Navstar. Perturbations are considered which are caused by the geopotential, by the gravitational field of the moon and the sun, by lunar- solar tides in the earth's field, by photon pressure, and by relativistic effects. Perturbation characteristics are obtained over a prediction interval of 1-90 days.
