Abstract:

Abstract: The short-periodic perturbations of orbits of an artificial satellite due to the radiation pressure during one orbital period are influenced by Earth’s shadow. For the semi-analytical theories it is necessary to calculate great number of coefficients. Using computer algebra we have computed them for some of applicable semi-analytical theories.
