Scientific paper

The changes of the orbital motion of an artificial satellite caused by the terrestrial infrared radiation pressure are studied. The infrared radiation is described as a series of spherical harmonics and only the zero-th and second-order harmonics are taken into account. The expressions for the disturbing components and for the changes of the orbital elements are given together with numerical examples. The comparison of the computed magnitudes of the disturbing force with observed data shows good agreement.
