Gravity Gradient Effect on a LEO Satellite with an Elliptic Orbit and Unsymmetrical Mass Properties
The study presented in this paper investigates the dynamic behavior of a low earth orbit (LEO) satellite due to gravity gradient disturbances when the product of inertia terms of the spacecraft and the orbit eccentricity are considered. It is shown that the classical stable solution for the gravity...
