Satellite Orbit Modeling

Precise modeling of a satellite's perturbed motion (special perturbations approach)

Al momento, stai seguendo questo contributo

This MATLAB package is a high-fidelity numerical orbit propagator for Earth satellites. It integrates the two-body equations of motion in the ICRF/EME2000 (J2000) inertial frame, with accelerations from Earth's spherical-harmonic gravity field, solid-Earth and ocean tides, third-body gravity (Sun, Moon, and planets), solar radiation pressure, atmospheric drag, and relativity. The demonstration driver test_Envisat.m propagates Envisat for 26.47 hours from a DORIS precise-orbit epoch and compares the result with the corresponding CNES DORIS POE.The implementation follows Montenbruck and Gill, Satellite Orbits: Models, Methods, and Applications (Springer, corrected 3rd printing, 2005); Vallado, Fundamentals of Astrodynamics and Applications (4th edition, 2013); and the IERS Conventions (2010) for tides, polar motion, and relativistic acceleration.
