Keplerian Orbital Elements
Consider an ellipse
Periapse/perifocus/periapsis◦ Perigee, perihelion
r = radius rp = radius of periapse ra = radius of apoapse
a = semi-major axis e = eccentricity = (ra-rp)/(ra+rp) rp = a(1-e) ra = a(1+e)
ω = argument of periapse f/υ = true anomaly

Keplerian Orbital Elements
Orientation of ellipse requires a reference frame◦ Typically “Earth Mean Equator and
Equinox of J2000.0” (EME2000, or just J2000).
◦ Or Earth Mean Ecliptic of J2000.
The obliquity of the Earth’s spin axis is the angle between the equatorial and ecliptic planes.◦ ~23.5 deg at present.

Coordinate Frames
Ascending node is the point where the Sun crosses the equator moving from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere: vernal equinox (~ March 21)
The descending node is autumnal equinox (~Sept 21)
CCARColorado Center for
Astrodynamics Research
University of ColoradoBoulder 13
Coordinate Frames
Choose X-axis (coinciding with vernal equinox) as inertial direction; Z-axis coincident with Earth angular velocity vector (ωe), period of rotation = 86164 sec, “sidereal” period
GMST=αG = ωe(t – t0) + αG0

Coordinate Frames (XYZ) represents a nonrotating coordinate system with X
directed to the vernal equinox, and origin coinciding with Earth center (geometric center of the spherical Earth, or more precisely, the Earth center of mass)
In reality, the location of the equinoxes change with time (use the equinox of a particular date as reference, e.g., January 1, 2000, 12:00 or more specifically, mean equator and vernal equinox of J2000)
(xyz) is an Earth-fixed frame (ECF) and rotates with it, with x coincident with the intersection of the Greenwich meridian and the equator
CCARColorado Center for
Astrodynamics Research
University of ColoradoBoulder 15
Coordinate Frames
Define xyz reference frame (Earth centered, Earth fixed; ECEF or ECF), fixed in the solid (and rigid) Earth and rotates with it
Longitude λ measured from Greenwich Meridian
0≤ λ < 360° E; or measure λ East (+) or West (-)
Latitude (geocentric latitude) measured from equator (φ is North (+) or South (-))◦ At the poles, φ = + 90° N or
φ = -90° S

Everyday Orbital Motion
Ballistic motion is orbital motion
Solid Earth prevents a body in ballistic motion from reaching perigee
A body dropped from rest, at the equator, is shown◦ Perigee: 11.2 km◦ Eccentricity: 0.9965
CCARColorado Center for
Astrodynamics Research
University of ColoradoBoulder 40
Perturbed Motion
The 2-body problem provides us with a foundation of orbital motion
In reality, other forces exist which arise from gravitational and nongravitational sources
In the general equation of satellite motion, f is the perturbing force (causes the actual motion to deviate from exact 2-body)

Perturbed Motion: Planetary Mass Distribution
Sphere of constant mass density is not an accurate representation for planets
Define gravitational potential, U, such that the gravitational force is
CCARColorado Center for

University of ColoradoBoulder 42
Gravitational Potential
The commonly used expression for the gravitational potential is given in terms of mass distribution coefficients Jn, Cnm, Snm
n is degree, m is order Coordinates of external
mass are given in spherical coordinates: r, geocentric latitude φ, longitude
CCARColorado Center for
Astrodynamics Research
University of ColoradoBoulder 43
Gravity Coefficients
The gravity coefficients (Jn, Cnm, Snm) are also known as Stokes Coefficients and Spherical Harmonic Coefficients
Jn:◦ Gravitational potential represented in zones of latitude;
referred to as zonal coefficients Cnm, Snm:
◦ If n=m, referred to as sectoral coefficients◦ If n≠m, referred to as tesseral coefficients

Earth J2 (Degree 2 Zonal Harmonic)
J2 represents a dominant characteristic of the shape of the planet◦ Positive J2: oblate
spheroid ◦ Negative J2: prolate
spheroid Scientific controversy
in 1735: was Earth oblate or prolate?
Oblate spheroid Prolate spheroid
CCARColorado Center for
Astrodynamics Research
University of ColoradoBoulder 45
Resolution of Controversy In 1735, one view of the shape of the Earth was based
on work of Newton, who had argued for the oblate shape (centrifugal forces)
Another view was based on measurements of the length of 1° of latitude in France, supported a prolate spheroid
French Academy of Sciences funded two expeditions to make measurements of 1° of latitude near the Arctic Circle (northern Scandinavia) and near the equator (now Ecuador)
It took ~10 years for the equator team to complete, so the first results were from Scandinavia, and equator verified it: the Earth was an oblate spheroid, J2 is +

Vanguard
Determination of Earth gravity coefficients resulted from Vanguard-I (NRL project)
First network of tracking stations, known as Minitrack, was deployed to support objectives: “determine atmospheric density and the shape of the Earth”
To achieve objectives, all basic elements of orbit determination were involved and a state of the art IBM 704 computer was used to determine the orbit
CCARColorado Center for
Astrodynamics Research
University of ColoradoBoulder
Shape of Earth: J2, J3
U.S. Vanguard satellite launched in 1958, used to determine J2 and J3
J2 represents most of the oblateness; J3 represents a pear shape
J2 = 1.08264 x 10-3
J3 = - 2.5324 x 10-6

J2 and Orbit Design
As altitude increases, J2 perturbation diminishes (from a great distance the Earth is equivalent to a point mass)
Use J2 perturbation in orbit design, e.g., solar synchronous satellite◦ If dΩ/dt = +360°/365.25 days, the line of nodes will keep
a fixed (in an average sense) orientation with respect to the Earth-Sun direction
◦ Must be retrograde; for 600 km altitude, i=98°
CCARColorado Center for
Astrodynamics Research
University of ColoradoBoulder 49
Perturbations from Spherical Harmonics
Mean Ω, ω, M exhibit secular variation (caused by even degree Jn)
Mean a, e, i are constant Odd degree Jn cause long period perturbations (period of
argument of perigee motion) All harmonic coefficients cause short period
perturbations (period is 1, ½, 1/3, etc multiple of the orbital period)
m≠0 harmonic coefficients cause m-daily perturbations (i.e., 1, ½, 1/3, etc multiple of one day)
Special category: resonant perturbations (e.g., geosynchronous, GPS, …)
CCARColorado Center for
Astrodynamics Research
University of ColoradoBoulder 50
Secular Variations
Secular variations of Ω (positive J2)◦ 0° < i <90° : dΩ/dt < 0◦ i = 90°: dΩ/dt = 0◦ 90° < i < 180°: dΩ/dt > 0
Secular variations of ω (positive J2)◦ i=63.4° or 116.6°, dω/dt = 0 (critical i)◦ See Table 2.3.3 for more details
Secular variations produced by all even-degree zonal harmonics
CCARColorado Center for
Astrodynamics Research
University of ColoradoBoulder
Influence of J2 on Satellite Motion
Oblateness produces linear (secular) changes in Ω, ω, M
Periodic variations in all elements; e.g., semimajor axis exhibits a twice per orbital revolution variation
Approximate equations for variations in semimajor axis shown at left

◦ a=26560.5 km, e=0.0015, i=54.5°◦ dΩ/dt = -0.04109°/day
Contributions from analytical rates:◦ J2: -0.03927°/day◦ Moon: -0.00097°/day◦ Sun: -0.00045°/day◦ Total: -0.04069°/day (difference with observed is

Atmospheric Drag
Atmospheric drag is the dominant nongravitational force at low altitudes if the celestial body has an atmosphere
Depending on nature of the satellite, lift force may exist
Drag removes energy from the orbit and results in da/dt < 0, de/dt < 0
Orbital lifetime of satellite strongly influenced by drag
From D. King-Hele, 1964, Theory of Satellite Orbits in an Atmosphere

Other Forces
The Earth (and all planets) are not rigid bodies◦ Gravitationally induced deformation (tides), both in fluid parts of
the planet and solid◦ Section 2.3.6 provides more detail◦ Earth ΔJ2 from luni-solar tides is ~ 10-8
Relativity (small effect on motion of perigee) Nongravitational forces
◦ Atmospheric drag (dependent on CD A/m) Responsible for orbit decay, da/dt < 0
◦ Solar radiation pressure, SRP (dependent on CR A/m)◦ Earth radiation pressure◦ Other (including thermal radiation)◦ Unknown or not well understood forces

Earth Rotation and Time Sidereal rate of rotation: ~2π/86164 rad/day Variations exist in magnitude of ωE, from upper
atmospheric winds, tides, etc. UT1 is used to represent such variations
◦ UTC is kept within 0.9 sec of UT1 (leap second) Polar motion and UT1 observed quantities Different time scales: GPS-Time, TAI, UTC, TDT Time is independent variable in satellite equations of
motion; relates observations to equations of motion (TDT is usually taken to represent independent variable in equations of motion)
