Abstract
The secondary resonances due to solar radiation pressure are investigated in the vicinity of orbits of the global navigation systems GLONASS (main resonance is 8:17) and GPS (main resonance is 1:2). The secondary resonances were considered for both the main resonances and the sub-resonances i- and e-types. The secondary resonances locations were estimated analytically and were improved by numerically. The secondary resonance zones were found for both low (0.02, 0.2, and 1 m2/kg) and high (10 m2/kg and more) area-to-mass ratios. The secondary resonances have a significant effect on the dynamical evolution of objects with area-to-mass ratio 10 m2/kg and more. This result is very important when describing the long-term orbital evolution of space debris.
