Theory of Geostationary Satellites
Higher harmonics of the Earth's potential and tidal effects also influence satellite motion, but theyare of second order when compared to the predominant perturbations. This volume deals with the theory of geostationary satellites. It consists of seven chapters. Chapter 1 provides a general di...
