Celestial Mechanics: Artificial Satellite, Orbital Lifetime

Scientific paper

Dissipative effect on the orbital lifetime of LEO has been discussed widely and deeply. But in deep-space research, another effect from attraction mechanism on low-orbit satellites is important as well. For high altitude satellites, the gravitational perturbation due to the third body means that its orbital eccentricity will so increase that it will eventually fall down onto the primary. This paper focuses on the low-orbit satellites. Though the result is similar to the high altitude ones, the mechanism is totally different. Lifetime of low orbiters depends on the ratio of oblateness to the zonal harmonic, while that of high orbiters depends on the attraction of the third body. Under the background of the solar system, both the theoretical analysis and numerical examples are given .
