Comparison of General Perturbations and Special Pertubations Ephemerides
نویسندگان
چکیده
The accuracy of the SPACETRACK General Perturbations program over short periods is evaluated for a number of cases. They show that oscillatory terms resulting from drag perturbations contribute heavily to errors at low altitudes, and that these terms must be eliminated if the first order theory is to be used for high accuracy in these circumstances. It appears that the evaluation technique employed would be useful in addressing a number of other problems; several promising applications are discussed.

Validation of SGP4 and IS-GPS-200D Against GPS Precision Ephemerides
Many applications use the NORAD SGP4 orbital model for predicting satellite ephemerides and often these applications require knowledge of the errors associated with those predictions. Unfortunately, the SGP4 orbital data, in the form of two-line element (TLE) sets, does not provide any kind of accuracy information. Some approaches have been published which purport to estimate these errors by pe...
متن کاملNew accurate ephemerides for the Galilean satellites of Jupiter I. Numerical integration of elaborated equations of motion
We present a new theory of the four Galilean satellites Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. This theory aims to deliver highly accurate ephemerides able to represent the Galilean satellites’ motion over several centuries. It is based on the numerical integration of elaborated equations of motion. This first paper describes and tests many usually neglected perturbations. We are then able to retai...
متن کاملHow Well Do We Know The Orbits Of The Outer Planets?
This paper deals with the problem of astrometric determination of the orbital elements of the outer planets, in particular by assessing the ability of astrometric observations to detect perturbations of the sort expected from the Pioneer effect or other small perturbations to gravity. We also show that while using simplified models of the dynamics can lead to some insights, one must be careful ...

This paper deals with the achievement of a reduced order mathematical model using the singular perturbations method for an electrohydraulic system composed by a hydraulic cylinder which is controlled with an electrohydraulic servovalve with five ways. Due to the high value of the bulk-modulus of fluid, to the low value of the fluid occupied volume and also to the spool valve mass low, the equat...
متن کاملIsocurvature Perturbations in the Ekpyrotic Universe
The Ekpyrotic scenario assumes that our visible Universe is a boundary brane in a five-dimensional bulk and that the hot Big Bang occurs when a nearly supersymmetric five-brane travelling along the fifth dimension collides with our visible brane. We show that the generation of isocurvature perturbations is a generic prediction of the Ekpyrotic Universe. This is due to the interactions in the ki...
