Analytical Solution for the Combined Solar Radiation Pressure and Luni- Solar Effects on the Orbits of High Altitude Satellites~!2010-02-02~!2010-02-16~!2010-06-11~!

“…The study of the effect of direct solar radiation pressure on the orbits of the artificial satellites was discussed in a lot of literatures, starting from pioneering works of [1][2][3][4] and other of [5][6][7][8][9]. Also the theory of third body perturbations on an artificial satellite motion was developed by many authors in the past.…”
