A semianalytical method has been developed to calculate the radiation-pressure perturbations of a close-earth satellite due to sunlight reflected from the earth. It is assumed that the satellite is spherically symmetric and that the solar radiation is reflected from the earth according to Lambert's law. To account for the increasing reflectivity of the earth toward the poles, its albedo is assumed to have a latitudinal dependence. The effect of the terminator on the perturbations has been neglected. The perturbations within a particular revolution are given analytically, while the long-range perturbations are obtained by accumulation.
