Scientific paper

By general perturbations techniques, the orbital effects of radiation pressure in the semimajor axis and in longitude are computed and divided into long and short periodic ones. Long periodic effects are excluded for constant attitude spacecraft. Even for satellites with an Earth pointing antenna, for low inclination and eccentricity and for good antenna pointing, long periodic perturbations in the semimajor axis are small. However, there are longitude perturbations of secular character. The perturbations on the orbit of the SIRIO 2 satellite are computed as an example. An accurate orbit determination is possible for high, e.g., geosynchronous, satellites if orbit and attitude are carefully chosen.
