Scientific paper

The motion of an orbiter in low eccentric orbit in Mars' atmosphere is studied. The approximation of a spherically symmetrical, rotationless atmosphere is considered. The difference between the perturbed nodal and the corresponding Keplerian period is analytically estimated. The perturbations undergone by five independent orbital elements, over a nodal period, are established, too.
