Orbital dynamics of "smart-dust" devices with solar radiation pressure and drag
This paper investigates how perturbations due to asymmetric solar radiation pressure, in the presence of Earth shadow, and atmospheric drag can be balanced to obtain long-lived Earth-centered orbits for swarms of microscale "smart-dust" devices, without the use of active control. The secul...
