On the basis of the results by Huang et al. (1990), this paper further discusses and analyzes the four post-Newtonian effects in a near-earth satellite orbit: the Schwarzschild solution, the post-Newtonian effects of the geodesic precession, the Lense-Thirring precession, and the oblateness of the earth. A full analytical solution to the effects, including their direct perturbations and mixed perturbations due to the Newtonian oblateness (J2) perturbation and the Schwarzschild solution, is obtained using the quasi-mean orbital element method analogous to the Kozai's mean orbital element method. Some perturbation properties of the post-Newtonian effects are revealed. The results obtained not only can provide a sound scientific basis for the precise determination of a man-made satellite orbit but also is suitable for similar mechanics systems, such as the motions of planets, asteroids and natural satellites.
