FIRST ORDER PERTURBATIONS IN LONGITUDE FOR CIRCULAR POLAR SATELLITE ORBITS, DUE TO TESSERAL HARMONICS.

Abstract

The paper develops the first order perturbations in mean longitude for circular polar satellite orbits for a general tesseral harmonic of order m and degree l. The development proceeds along the line of the Gaussian form of the variational equations. (Author)
