Analysis of Near-Earth Space for the Search of Optimal Orbits for Placement of Satellites
摘要
Orbital evolution of model near-Earth space (NES) objects moving in orbits with semi-major axes in the range from 8 000 to 100 000 km is analyzed to reveal the dynamic structure features of this NES region to choose a disposal strategy for spent spacecrafts or deployment of new satellite systems. The areas possessing the greatest stability and keeping preset orbital elements and hence the most suitable for placing new satellites and disposal of spent satellites are shown. The areas in which the deployment of satellites is inexpedient are highlighted.
