Abstract

Researching and modeling perturbations is essential in astrodynamics because it gives information on the deviations from the satellite's normal, idealized, or unperturbed motion. Examined the impact of non-conservative atmospheric drag and orbital elements of low-earth-orbit satellites under low solar activity. The study is consisting of parts, the first looks at the effects of atmospheric drag on LEO satellites different area to mass ratios, and the second looks at different inclination values.

Keywords

Perturbations, Orbital Elements, Atmospheric Drug, Low Orbit Satellites.
