Analytical and Semianalytical Propagation of Space Orbits: The Role of Polar-Nodal Variables

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Proceedings ((ASSSP,volume 44))

Abstract

The role of different sets of variables in analytical or semianalytical solutions to the artificial satellite theory is reviewed. In particular, it is shown that using polar-nodal variables or non-singular variables based on them is clearly advantageous in the evaluation of the transformation from mean to osculating elements.
