1 Pertubations by the Sun + Moon (Seeber, 3.2.3) Earth, Sun, Moon regarded as point-masses.
2 Acceleration relative to Earth:.
3 Perturbing equations.
4 Solid Earth + Ocean Tides(Seeber, ).Satellite (LAGEOS) used to determine Earth Tides
5 Ocean tides.
6 Atmopheric drag, Seeber Satellite “geometry” (box or sphere …) Satellite velocity, energy loss per s is dot-product of velocity vector and external forces. Direction of forces Air temperature and density, composition.
7 Drag-equation.
8 Exercise.
9 Density.
10 Solar pressure (Seeber, ) Direct Indirect (albedo) Force proportional to O (Area), C r reflectivity Inversely proportional to velocity of light, mass and square of distance (AU) to Sun:
