Principle of measurement
Abstract
The principle of radiation pressure measurement with a satellite-borne accelerometer is explained using simplified hypotheses. It is shown that by using this measurement and the satellite trajectory, it is possible to provide an evaluation of the global flux in order to examine the radiative balance of the earth.
