An Introduction to Satellite Orbits.
Abstract
An elementary introduction to artificial satellite orbits is presented, with a convenient classification in terms of the height of perigee and apogee, orbital inclination being another parameter of importance. The main sources of orbital perturbation are described, and special attention is paid to orbits with repeating ground-track. Additional keywords: Mathematical curves.(Author).
