Precise Analytical Computation of Frozen-Eccentricity, Low Earth Orbits in a Tesseral Potential
Classical procedures for designing Earth’s mapping missions rely on a preliminary frozen-eccentricity orbit analysis. This initial exploration is based on the use of zonal gravitational models, which are frequently reduced to a simple J2-J3 analysis. However, the J2-J3 model may not be accurate enou...
