Relative motion of orbiting bodies

A problem of relative motion of orbiting bodies is investigated on the example of the free motion of any body ejected from the orbital station that stays in a circular orbit around the earth. An elementary approach is illustrated by a simulation computer program and supported by a mathematical treatment based on approximate differential equations of the relative orbital motion. 1. Relative moti...

Acceleration Radiation for Orbiting Electrons.∗

This paper presents an analysis of the radiation seen by an observer in circular acceleration, for a magnetic spin. This is applied to an electron in a storage ring, and the subtilty of the interaction of the spin with the spatial motion of the electron is explicated. This interaction is shown to be time dependent (in the radiating frame), which explains the strange results found for the electr...

Camera Estimation for Orbiting Pushbrooms

Several space borne cameras use push broom scanning to acquire imagery Traditionally mod eling and analyzing these sensors has been computation ally intensive due to the motion of the orbiting satellite with respect to the rotating earth and the non linearity of the mathematical model involving orbital dynamics A new technique for mapping a D point to its cor responding image point that leads t...
