Book Description
The Lindstedt perturbation method is applied to the motion of an artificial Earth satellite that moves along a geodesic of the Schwarzschild metric of general relativity. The purpose of this analysis is to determine the extent to which general-relativistic effects are detectable in range measurements of Earth-orbiting spacecraft.

Theory Of Satellite Fragmentation In Orbit
Author: Arjun Tan
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9811208573
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
For over half a century, an increasing number of satellites have fragmented in orbit, creating a large amount of hazardous orbital debris which threaten the safety of useful functioning satellites and space missions. This book discusses the theory behind these fragmentations followed by studies of actual cases.The book begins with a survey of satellite fragmentations in orbit and the consequent formation of orbital debris in chronological order. Next, the fundamental physical processes underlying satellite fragmentations are outlined and the methods of analyzing satellite fragmentations presented. The rest of the book presents analyses of the major satellite fragmentation events including accidental and intentional breakups, those due to explosions and collisions, as well as those belonging to the unknown category.

Theory Of Orbital Motion
Author: Arjun Tan
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Company
ISBN: 9813101520
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
Orbital motion is a vital subject which has engaged the greatest minds in mathematics and physics from Kepler to Einstein. It has gained in importance in the space age and touches every scientist in any field of space science. Still, there is almost a total dearth of books in this important field at the elementary and intermediate levels — at best a chapter in an undergraduate or graduate mechanics course.This book addresses that need, beginning with Kepler's laws of planetary motion followed by Newton's law of gravitation. Average and extremum values of dynamical variables are treated and the central force problem is formally discussed. The planetary problem in Cartesian and complex coordinates is tackled and examples of Keplerian motion in the solar system are also considered. The final part of the book is devoted to the motion of artificial Earth satellites and the modifications of their orbits by perturbing forces of various kinds.
