Scientific paper

Calculations show that, at a mean altitude of 1000 miles, radiation
pressure can displace the orbit of the 100-foot Echo balloon at rates up
to 3.7 miles per day, the orbit of the 12-foot Beacon satellite at 0.7
mile per day. For certain resonant conditions this effect accumulates,
drastically affecting the satellite's lifetime.
