Navigational assignment of scientific measurements
Abstract
Some problems are considered in the navigational assignment of scientific measurements (the calculation of the position of the center of a spacecraft mass in space) as it applies to the Interkosmos series of artificial satellites. Possible models of disturbing forces and the corresponding perturbations in the orbits are analyzed. The following forces and their effect on artificial satellites are discussed: earth's gravity, atmospheric drag, the moon's gravity, the sun's gravity, and light pressure.
