... Various analytic, semi-analytic and numerical theories were developed for solving perturbed equations of satellite motion. The literature is wealth concerning the motion of artificial as well as natural celestial bodies in the gravitational field of a central body; see as non exclusive examples: Delhaise (1991), Bezděk and Vokrouhlický (2004), Bhardwaj and Sethi (2006), Khalil (2002), Hassan et al. (2008), Chen and Jing (2010), Lee et al. (2011), Reid and Misra (2011), Xu et al. (2011), Al-Bermani et al. (2012), Aghav and Gangal (2014). ...
In this work Lagrange’s planetary equations for a charged satellite subjected to the Earth’s gravitational and magnetic force fields are solved. The Earth’s gravity, and magnetic and electric force components are obtained and expressed in terms of orbital elements. The variational equations of orbit with the considered model in Keplerian elements are derived. The solution of the problem in a fully analytical way is obtained. The temporal rate of changes of the orbital elements of the spacecraft are integrated via Lagrange’s planetary equations and integrals of the normalized Keplerian motion obtained by Ahmed (Astron. J. 107(5):1900, 1994).
... Details of the gravitational potential theory and atmospheric drag force effect can be found in [2]. Numerical simulation of the equation at orbital motion was performed by [3].The effects of atmosphere drag and zonal harmonics J2 at the gravitational potential of the earth at low earth orbit satellite has been investigated by [4] In this paper , numerical simulation of the equation of motion at two body problem under the combined effects of atmospheric drag force and J2 spherical harmonics of the oblateness of the gravitational potential has been performed by using Matlab a 7.4 . The atmospheric density is calculated as exponential function of the satellite's altitude from the earth surface and scale height as a function of solar activity indices F10.7 and Ap. ...
