Abstract

The practical tasks related to qualitative investigation of long-term evolution of high-apogee orbits of artificial Earth satellites (AES), for which the main perturbing factors are gravitational perturbations from the Moon and the Sun, are considered. Attention is given to the problem of the ballistic lifetime of similar orbits, and the issues associated with possibilities of the correction of orbits for ensuring the required duration of their ballistic lifetime are considered. The orbit of the SPECTR-R spacecraft launched in July of 2011 is considered as an example.
