Abstract

In this paper, with the application of the Delauney variables, according to the Hamilton equations, the influence on the perturbation of a satellite exerted by the gravitational force of the earth through canonical transformation has been found out. As a result, the equation about how the position and velocity of the satellite vary with time is deduced.
