1. Planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun as one focus
2. the radius vector from the sun to the planet sweeps out equals areas in equal times
3. T2 : R3 ratio is constant for all planets, where T is orbital period and R is semi-major axis of the orbit
Johannes Kepler (1571 – 1630) German mathematician, astronomer and astrologer

1. Newton discovered the laws of gravitation and explained planetary and satellite orbits in terms of the balance of forces:
2. Centripetal acceleration
3. Gravity
Isaac Newton (1643 - 1727) English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, theologian)
F =ma=mdvdt
Fgravity =GMmr2

Galileo Galilei (1564 - 1642)Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher
Galileo's pupil Vincenzo Viviani stated that Galileo had dropped balls of the same material, but different masses, from the Leaning Tower of Pisa to demonstrate that their time of descent was independent of their mass.
This was contrary to what Aristotle had taught: that heavy objects fall faster than lighter ones, in direct proportion to weight.
There is no account by Galileo himself of such an experiment, and it is generally accepted that it was at most a thought experiment which did not actually take place.

Right ascension - declination coordinate system
First Point of Aries: One of the two points on the Celestial Sphere where the Ecliptic and the Celestial Equator cross one another.
Ecliptic: An imaginary line that approximates the plane in which the planets (other than Pluto) orbit the Sun. From the perspective of an observer on Earth, the planets and the Sun will always remain close to this line.
When the Sun reaches the First Point of Aries, as it does once each year, an equinox occurs. (Northern hemisphere Vernal Equinox)
The First Point of Aries, which is actually in Pisces, defines the zero-point for Right Ascension.
Right ascension: the celestial equivalent of longitude (starting at the First Point of Aries)
Declination: the celestial equivalent of latitudeThe celestial north pole is at declination +90

On Jan 11, 2007, China tested anantisatellite rocket. The initial collisionadded 800 to 1000 pieces of space junkto the current total of detectable objects.
Kessler, D. J., and Burton G. Cour-Palais. "Collision frequency of artificial satellites – The creation of a debris belt." Journal of Geophysical Research Vol. 83 (June 1978): 2637-2646.
Collisions between existing debrisgenerate additional pieces of debris.There is concern that eventually a chainreaction will ensue (the Kesslersyndrome) littering the low earth orbit(LEO) with debris making it almostimpenetrable to new satellite launches forfear of collision.
How many detectable objects (> 4inches) are in orbit?

Sidereal day = time it takes for Earth to rotate through 360o This is slightly shorter than a solar day (24 hours)
There are 365.25 solar days in a year but 366.25 sidereal days
Sidereal day = 365.25/366.25*24 = 29.93 hours

Scan geometry
• zenith angle w.r.t. satellite nadir
• look angle and solar zenith angle w.r.t local vertical
• Fixed solid angle Field of View (FOV) such as for an optical lens, gives elliptical footprint off-nadir and varying spatial resolution in the scan
