Influence of the Earth gravity variations on low-thrust spacecraft multi-orbital transfers to the geostationary orbit

R. Z. Akhmetshin


Abstract: Some trajectories of the multi-orbital transfers to the geostationary orbit are considered; two models of spacecraft motion are compared. One of them represents a flight in the central Newtonian field of the Earth, and the other one includes the additional influence of the Earth gravity variations.

Keywords: spacecraft, low thrust, multi-orbital transfers, geostationary orbit, perturbations, Earth gravity variations.
