Abstract
We overview a theoretical scheme enabling evaluation of the radiative force acting on different celestial bodies (artificial satellites, interplanetary dust grains) based on the moment formalism introduced in the theory of radiative transfer. This approach allows an elegant and powerful algorithm for the radiative force investigation, in complex situations (e.g. the Earth shadow penumbra transitions). It accounts for the influence of general radiative field generated by an extended source with arbitrary surface emissivity. A number of tutorial computations of the simplified configurations already met in the literature are presented.
Recently, we have applied the moment formalism to the shadow penumbra theory in context of the artificial satellite dynamics. Here we follow several ideas generalizing previous model in different routes: towards the (i) first order terms in presumably small parameter υ/c (υ stands for the object velocity, while c for the velocity of light) generally known as the Poynting-Robertson terms, (ii) arbitrary distances from the planet.
