A derived model for solar radiation-induced orbital perturbations of arbitrarily shaped satellite configurations considers the effects of diffuse and/or specular reflection as well as reemission of absorbed energy. In the formulation, the out-of-plane perturbations are uncoupled from the in-plane variations, but retain a geometric interpretation in terms of osculating elements. Analytical representations of orbital behavior are obtained for the cases when the space structure is kept in a fixed angle to the radiation or inertial space and for the case in which the satellite can be effectively modeled as a flat plate in a general fixed orientation with respect to the earth.
