ORBITAL MECHANICS Two men in history that were essential to
formulating orbital mechanics: Kepler and Newton!! Kepler’s 3 Laws:
– Law of Ellipses– Law of Equal areas– Law of Harmonics
Newton’s 3 Laws:– Law of Inertia– Law of Momentum– Law of Action -Reaction
![Page 4: Colorado Springs Cadet Squadron Lt Col M. T. McNeely Orbital Mechanics and other Space Operations Topics !! CIVIL AIR PATROL CAP-STK Aerospace Program.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e895503460f94b8e81c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
PHYSICAL LAWSKepler’s 1st Law: Law of Ellipses
The orbits of the planets are ellipses with the sun at one focus. Or, the orbits of satellites around the earth are ellipses with the earth
at one focus…..

INJECTION REQUIREMENTSSpeed
100 miles17,500 mi/hr
A satellite must be going 17,500 mph to stay in a low earth orbit
![Page 10: Colorado Springs Cadet Squadron Lt Col M. T. McNeely Orbital Mechanics and other Space Operations Topics !! CIVIL AIR PATROL CAP-STK Aerospace Program.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e895503460f94b8e81c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
INJECTION REQUIREMENTSAltitude
Are you moving FASTER or SLOWER the higher
your altitude?

ORBIT CLASSIFICATION Size/Period
Size is how big or small your satellite’s orbit is…. Defined by semi-major axis There are basically 4 sizes of orbits satellites use:
– Low Earth Orbit (LEO): approx 120 – 1200 miles above Earth– Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) or Semi-synchronous Orbit:
approx 12,000 miles above Earth – Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO): altitude varies greatly! From
100 miles to sometimes several hundred thousand miles– Geo-synchronous or Geo-stationary Orbit (GEO): approx 22,300 miles from Earth
![Page 13: Colorado Springs Cadet Squadron Lt Col M. T. McNeely Orbital Mechanics and other Space Operations Topics !! CIVIL AIR PATROL CAP-STK Aerospace Program.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e895503460f94b8e81c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
ORBIT CLASSIFICATIONShape
Orbit shapes are either circular or not circular: some sort of anEllipse!!How elliptical an orbit, is called Eccentricity
![Page 14: Colorado Springs Cadet Squadron Lt Col M. T. McNeely Orbital Mechanics and other Space Operations Topics !! CIVIL AIR PATROL CAP-STK Aerospace Program.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e895503460f94b8e81c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
ORBIT CLASSIFICATIONSEccentricity
The closer your Eccentricity is to 1, the more elliptical your orbit is
e = 0.75
e = .45
e = 0
Why could you never have an Eccentricity of 1??
![Page 15: Colorado Springs Cadet Squadron Lt Col M. T. McNeely Orbital Mechanics and other Space Operations Topics !! CIVIL AIR PATROL CAP-STK Aerospace Program.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e895503460f94b8e81c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
ORBITAL ELEMENTSInclination
Orbital Plane
Equatorial Plane
Inclination
• Inclination is the tilt of your orbit• At 0 degrees of inclination, you are orbiting the equator• At 90 degrees of inclination, you are in a polar orbit
Inclination: Is this angle, measured in degrees
![Page 16: Colorado Springs Cadet Squadron Lt Col M. T. McNeely Orbital Mechanics and other Space Operations Topics !! CIVIL AIR PATROL CAP-STK Aerospace Program.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e895503460f94b8e81c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
ORBITAL ELEMENTSRight Ascension
iLine of N
odesRight Ascension of the Ascending Node ()
First Point of Aries ()
• Right Ascension is the swivel of your tilt, as measured from a fixed point in space, called the First Point of Aries
![Page 17: Colorado Springs Cadet Squadron Lt Col M. T. McNeely Orbital Mechanics and other Space Operations Topics !! CIVIL AIR PATROL CAP-STK Aerospace Program.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e895503460f94b8e81c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
ORBITAL ELEMENTSArgument of Perigee
Inclination
Line of Nodes
Perigee
Argument of Perigee: Is this angle, measured in degrees
• Argument of Perigee is a measurement from a fixed point in space to where perigee occurs in the orbit• It is measured in degrees
You will be able to much easily see what Argument of Perigee is when using STK!! Apogee
![Page 18: Colorado Springs Cadet Squadron Lt Col M. T. McNeely Orbital Mechanics and other Space Operations Topics !! CIVIL AIR PATROL CAP-STK Aerospace Program.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56649e895503460f94b8e81c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
ORBITAL ELEMENTSTrue Anomaly
Direction of satellite motion
• True Anomaly is a measurement from a fixed point in space to the actual satellite location in the orbit• It is measured in degrees True Anomaly:
Is this angle, measured in degrees
Fixed point in space
You will be able to much easily see what True Anomaly is when using STK!!

Ground TracksWestward Regression
- Earth rotates east under a satellite => satellite appears to walk west
- Earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours (15 degrees per hour)
