A STRETCH PROGRAM FOR COMPUTING CONSTANTS IN GIACAGLIA'S EXTENSION OF BROUWER'S THEORY TO HIGHER DEGREE ZONAL HARMONICS,

Abstract

A detailed description, including flow diagrams and FORTRAN IV listing, is given for a program used to obtain a table of P, Q, S, which is of use in expressing the effects of higher degree gravitational zonal harmonics on the orbits of near earth satellites. (Author)
