Scientific paper

A second order atmospheric drag theory based on the usage of TD88 model is constructed. It is developed to the second order in terms of TD88 small parameters K n, j . The short periodic perturbations, of all orbital elements, are evaluated. The secular perturbations of the semi-major axis and of the eccentricity are obtained. The theory is applied to determine the lifetime of the satellites ROHINI (1980 62A), and to predict the lifetime of the microsatellite MIMOSA. The secular perturbations of the nodal longitude and of the argument of perigee due to the Earth’s gravity are taken into account up to the second order in Earth’s oblateness.
