Abstract

The resonance terms produced by the effect of direct solar radiation pressure on the motion of a spacecraft in the oblate field of the earth are analyzed. The spacecraft was assumed axially symmetric with a despun antenna and solar panels. A canonical transformation technique is developed, based on the Bohlin technique of expansion in fractional powers, using Lie series and transformation as well as the concept of the Delaunay anomaly. The developed technique, applied to the problem averaged over the mean anomaly, is suitable in the presence of more than one resonant vector.
