Scientific paper

It was reported that the long-period (80-day) variations in the eccentricity of the orbit of Satellite 1958 β2 (Vanguard) can be explained by a north-south asymmetry in the gravitational potential of the earth. That is, the axial symmetry of the field is retained, but the third harmonic in latitude is added. The first part of this paper is a mathematical analysis of this problem.
