The influence of aerodynamic drag and the geopotential on the motion of the satellite 1964-52B is considered. A model of the atmosphere is adopted that allows for oblateness, and in which the density behaviour approximates to the observed diurnal variation. A differential equation governing the variation of the orbital inclination combining the effects of air drag with those of the Earth's gravitational field is given.The 310 observed values of inclination are modified by the removal of perturbations due to luni-solar attraction, solid Earth and ocean tides, solar radiation pressure, low-order long-periodic tesseral harmonic perturbations and changes due to precession. The method of removal of these effects is given in some detail.The variations in inclination due to drag are analysed to give four values of the average atmospheric rotation rate at heights of 296–476 km at latitude 0–54°. These values are as expected from previous analyses.The analysis of the change in inclination due to solar radiation pressure shows that this rapidly tumbling cylindrical satellite may be considered as equivalent to a spherical satellite of a given area-to-mass ratio.Analysis of the inclination near 15:1 resonance with the geopotential yields values of lumped geopotential harmonics of order 15 and 30, namely, 相似文献

The orbit of the satellite 1967-104B has been analysed as it passed through 29:2 resonance with the Earth's gravitational field between January 1977 and September 1978. From the changes in inclination and eccentricity the following lumped 29th-order geopotential harmonic coefficients were obtained: , , , , , . These values have been compared with existing comprehensive geopotential models: the best agreement is with the model of Rapp (1981). 相似文献

The odd zonal harmonics in the geopotential are the terms independent of longitude and antisymmetric about the Equator: they define the ‘pear-shape’ effect. The coeffecients J3, J5, J7,…of these harmonics have been evaluated by analysing the variations in eccentricity of 27 orbits covering wide range of inclinations. We use again most of the orbits from our previous (1969) evaluations, but we now have the advantage of 3 accurate orbits at inclinations between 60° and 66°, where the variations in eccentricity become very large, and 3 near-equatorial orbits, at inclinations between 3° and 15°, whereas previously there were none at inclinations lower than 28°. The new data lead to much more accurate and reliable values for the coeffecients. Our recommended set, which terminates at J17, is . With this new set of values the pear-shape tendency of the Earth amounts to 44.7 m at the poles, instead of the previous 40 m, though the new geoid is within 1 m of the old at latitudes away from the poles. 相似文献

The orbit of Cosmos 837 rocket (1976-62E) has been determined at 36 epochs between January and September 1978, using the RAE orbit refinement program PROP 6 with about 3000 observations. The inclination was 62.7° and the eccentricity 0.039. The orbital accuracy achieved was between 30m and 150m, both radial and crosstrack. The orbit was near 29:2 resonance in 1978 (exact resonance occurred on 14 May) and the values of orbital inclination obtained have been analysed to derive lumped 29th-order geopotential harmonic coefficients, namely: and . These will be used in future, when enough results at different inclinations have accumulated, to determine individual coefficients of order 29. The values of lumped harmonics obtained from analysis of the values of eccentricity were not well defined, because of the high correlations between them and the errors in removing the very large perturbation (31 km) due to odd zonal harmonics. 相似文献

Ariel 1, the first international satellite, was launched on 26 April 1962, into an orbit inclined at 53.85° to the equator, with an initial perigee height near 390 km. On 8 May 1973 the orbit passed through 15th-order resonance and has been determined, with the RAE orbit refinement program PROP, at eight epochs between February and August 1973 using 500 observations.The orbital inclinations during the time of 15th-order resonance, as given by these eight orbits and 31 U.S. Navy orbits, were fitted with a theoretical curve using the THROE computer program, the best fit giving and 109S15 = ?114 ± 31.The values of eccentricity were also successfully fitted using THROE, and the results are discussed. 相似文献

The orbit of Tansei 3rocket(1977-12B) has been determined at 47 epochs between 1 October 1977 and 19 March 1979 using over 1700 observations and the RAE orbit refinement program PROP6. The rate of change of the inclination was examined to evaluate values of the atmospheric rotation rate, Λ rev day?1. Analysis yielded the value Λ = 1.1 ± 0.05 at height 315 ± 30 km, average conditions; or alternatively Λ = 1.1 ± 0.1 at height 347 ± 12 km, slight winter bias and Λ = 1.07 ± 0.1 at height 270 ± 18 km, average conditions, supplying further evidence of a decrease in rotation rates from the 1960s to the 1970s.Analysis of the inclination at 15th-order resonance yielded the lumped harmonic values for inclination 65.485°. 相似文献

The paper gives the results of detailed studies of the frequency spectra of the chain of the wave packets Fs(t) of geomagnetic pulsations PC-1 recorded at the Novolazarevskaya station. The bulk of the energy of Fs(t) is concentrated in the vicinity of the central frequencies of spectra—the carrier frequencies of the signals. The velocity of the flux of protons generating these signals correspond to them. The spectra of the signals have oscillations—“satellites” irregularly distributed in frequency. These satellites, as the authors believe, testify to the presence of the individual groups of protons of low concentration whose velocities vary within 103–104 km s?1.Their energy is only of the order of 10?2–10?3 of the energy of the main proton flux. Clearly pronounced maxima on double and triple frequencies are detected. They show that the generation of pulsations PC-1 is accompanied by the generation on the overtones of wave packets called in this paper “two-fold” and “three-fold” pulsations PC-1. Intensive symmetrical satellites of a modulation character have been discovered on frequencies . Frequency differences correspond to them. The authors believe that the values of Δ?±sK are resonance frequencies of the magnetospheric cavity in which geomagnetic pulsations PC-1 are generated. It is established that the values of Δ?±sK coincide closely with the carrier frequencies of geomagnetic pulsations PC-3 and PC-4 generated in the magnetosphere. This leads to the conclusion that the resonance oscillations of the magnetospheric cavity are their source. Thus, the generation of geomagnetic pulsations of different types and resonance oscillations in the magnetosphere are integrated into a unified process. The importance of the results obtained and the necessity to check further their trustworthiness and universality, using experimental data gathered in different conditions, is stressed. 相似文献

In the course of testing a 3-channel photon-counting, high-speed photometer, we observed DY Peg on three nights, 1980 September 18, 19, and November 15, and obtained 7 light maxima. Combining with results observed over the past 30 years, we re-calculated the formula for the maximum epoch to be and the period decay rate to be (3.1± 0.1) × 10?8yr?1. 相似文献

Geopotential harmonics of order 15 and even degree,from changes in orbital eccentricity at resonance
When a satellite orbit decaying slowly under the action of air drag experiences 15th-order resonance with the Earth's gravitational field, so that the ground track repeats after 15 rev, the orbital eccentricity may suffer appreciable changes due to perturbations from the gravitational harmonics of order 15 and even degree (16, 18, 20…). In this paper the changes in eccentricity at resonance for six satellites in near-circular orbits at inclinations between 56 and 90° have been analysed to derive 11 pairs of equations linking the harmonic coefficients of order 15 and (even) degree l, in the usual notation. These equations (together with eight constraint equations) are solved to give:
