A New Navigation Force Model for the Earth’s Albedo and Its Effects on the Orbital Motion of an Artificial Satellite

Abstract: In this paper, we developed a new approach of an analytical model to calculate the radial and transversal components of the acceleration due to the effects of Earth's albedo. Its effects on the orbital motion of an artificial satellite are introduced. It is assumed that the satellite's horizon is illuminated and the sun lies on the equator. The magnitudes of those components are obtained and their effects on orbital evolution have been tested for different satellites elements. The perturbations in orbital elem… Show more

“…Since it is impossible to find an exact answer to the three-body problem, we are not exploring this further (Our limitations have been explained by chaos theory [7]). An example of post-Newtonian work on the three-body problem can be found in Fawzy A. Abd El-Salam, et al (2011) [8] The Lagrangian points are commonly used to calculate many of the orbital properties of celestial bodies [9]. This paper focuses on celestial planetary mechanics, most of which was developed by Sir Isaac Newton.…”

“…Various approaches have been used to develop numerical models of satellite orbit. They include; Euler's method [9,10], Runge-Kutta method [10,11], power series methods [12] and Lagrangian methods [13,14] among others. The Euler, Runge-Kutta and power series methods are based on, or derived from, infinite series method.…”

“…At the same time, when the terms are reduced, the method becomes faster but less accurate. Lagrangian methods, on the other hand, are direct, but difficult to solve [13,14]. Thus, there is a need for a simple, faster and accurate numerical solution to model the interaction of the satellite with other celestial bodies which is what this study sought to address.…”
