THE PERTURBATIONS OF SATELLITE ORBITS BY THE GRAVITATIONAL EFFECTS OF AN EXTERNAL BODY.

Abstract

An outline is given of the method used in the determination of Luni-solar perturbations on an artificial satellite of an oblate Earth without atmosphere. The first order theory was completed and a scheme for the evaluation of a second order theory is presented. (Author)
