Perturbations topics include: Perturbations, third body perturbations, perturbations due to earth’s oblateness and atmospheric drag. A perturbation is a disturbance in the motion or orbit of a celestial body. Perturbations can affect the size, shape, or position of a heavenly body's orbit over long periods of time. The study of perturbations began with the first attempts to predict planetary motions in the sky. Isaac Newton applied his laws of motion and of gravitation to the first analysis of perturbations. Perturbations are variations in orbital parameters. For example, the Sun's...

A perturbation is a disturbance in the motion or orbit of a celestial body. Perturbations can affect the size, shape, or position of a heavenly body's orbit over long periods of time. The study of perturbations began with the first attempts to predict planetary motions in the sky. Isaac Newton applied his laws of motion and of gravitation to the first analysis of perturbations. Perturbations are variations in orbital parameters. For example, the Sun's acceleration of the Moon is slightly greater than its acceleration of Earth when the Moon is closer to the Sun than Earth. This difference in acceleration perturbs the Moon's motion. Perturbations can include: The Earth's non-spherical mass distribution Atmospheric drag Third body attraction Solar radiation Perturbations can cause orbit drifts and variations in geosynchronous synthetic aperture radar (GEO SAR). Perturbations can be categorized into secular and periodical components. Show less
