On the choice of the reference system in investigations of the motionof high satellites.
Abstract
In the investigation of the motion of high satellites under the influence of the geopotential and the luni-solar attraction it is possible to introduce an analogy of the Laplacian plane. This plane is moving with the plane of the equator of date; the proposed coordinate system is not an equatorial one. The perturbations in the orbital elements of the satellite due to the motion of the adopted system have been studied.
