Importance of Orbits to Mission

• When should you start analyzing orbits to satisfy mission requirements?

• Can the orbit effect any of the following in the mission design?

― Revisit time of satellite to a point on earth?― Amount of data that can be transferred between

the satellite and ground?― Space radiation environment?― Power generation for the satellite?― Thermal control on the satellite?― Launch costs?

1. Change to a GTO (GEO transfer Orbit)

For GTO

Want: Vp = 10.169 km/s Va = 1.606 km/s

2. Circularize orbit

Need

V = 3.0727 km/s for GEO Change V = 3.0727-1.606 =

1.4667 km/s

3. Burn at Va to increase V to 3.0727 km/s for circular orbit at GEO

Now you have an orbit for your satellite.

1. Will it stay where you put it?

2. Is there anything that will change the orbit once you have it there?

East-West drift occurs because the equator is not perfectly circular, so satellites drift slowly towards one of two longitudinal stable points.

Due to luni-solar perturbations and the ellipticity of the Earth equator, an object placed in a GEO without any station-keeping would not stay there. It would start building up inclination at an initial rate of about 0.85 degrees per year. After 26.5 years the object would have an inclination of 15 degrees, decreasing back to zero after another 26.5 years
