Scientific paper

The change in the eccentricity of the orbit of an artificial earth satellite (AES) as a result of one passage through the moon's shadow is estimated. The shadow is assumed to be of cylindrical shape. For the AES 1963-30D, a perturbation in the heights of perigee and apogee of the orbit of 31.26 m is found, compared to 115.38 m for passage through the earth's shadow. This change cannot be neglected if an accurate computation of the orbit is needed and the satellite has sufficiently large area to mass ratio.
