Aas 01-223 Mitigation of the Effects of Eclipse Boundary Crossings on the Numerical Integration of Orbit Trajectories Using an Encke Type Correction Algorithm
نویسنده
چکیده
The proper application of a shadow model during the integration of orbit trajectories requires that the solar radiation pressure be sampled adequately during transitions between lighting conditions. An integration scheme is presented in which the lighting condition is held constant across steps of a primary integrator. If the lighting condition changes during that step, then an Encke-like integration is performed to correct the state at the end of the primary integration step. The effectiveness of this technique is presented for a set of Low Earth Orbits utilizing various combinations of the equations of motion and numerical integration methods.

Aiaa-2000-4027 Effects of Eclipse Boundary Crossings on the Numerical Integration of Orbit Trajectories
The integration of orbit trajectories requires a combination of force modeling, a formulation of the equations of motion and a numerical integration technique to be specified. While it is common to separate these components of the problem conceptually, certain cross dependencies must be considered in the implementation process. The inclusion of solar radiation pressure in the force model introd...
متن کاملDetermination of the best-fitting reference orbit for a LEO satellite using the Lagrange coefficients
Linearization of the nonlinear equations and iterative solution is the most well-known scheme in many engineering problems. For geodetic applications of the LEO satellites, e.g. the Earth’s gravity field recovery, one needs to provide an initial guess of the satellite location or the so-called reference orbit. Numerical integration can be utilized for generating the reference orbit if a satelli...
متن کاملAn Algorithm based on Predicting the Interface in Phase Change Materials
Phase change materials are substances that absorb and release thermal energy during the process of melting and freezing. This characteristic makes phase change material (PCM) a favourite choice to integrate it in buildings. Stephan problem including melting and solidification in PMC materials is an practical problem in many engineering processes. The position of the moving boundary, its veloci...
متن کاملA genetic algorithm-based approach for numerical solution of droplet status after Coulomb fission using the energy
As a droplet moves, due to evaporation at the surface, the droplet size is gradually reduced. Due to decreasing the size of the droplets moving in the spray core, the surface charges become closer and the repulsive force between the charges increases. When the Coulombic force overcomes the surface tension force (Rayleigh instability) the droplet breaks into smaller droplets (Coulomb fission). T...
متن کاملAnalysis of Linear Two-Dimensional Equations by Hermitian Meshfree Collocation Method
Meshfree Collocation Method is used to solve linear two-dimensional problems. This method differs from weak form methods such as Galerkin method and no cellular networking and no numerical integration. Therefore, this method has no constraints such as the integration accuracy and the integration CPU time, and equations can be isolated directly from the strong form of governing PDE. The fundame...
