Understanding how to calculate orbital speed is crucial for various applications, including launching satellites, planning space missions, and studying celestial motion. By applying Kepler’s Third Law ...

Two objects orbiting each other, like a lone planet around a star, can be described with just a line or two of mathematical equations ... his foundational laws of motion, and mathematicians ...

Astronomers can infer the existence of planets, estimate their orbital characteristics ... As scientists continue to refine our understanding of planetary motion by applying Kepler’s equation, we can ...

In this paper, the dynamics of the relative motion problem in a perturbed orbital environment are exploited based on Gauss' variational equations. The relative coordinate frame (Hill frame) is studied ...

In order to simplify expressions, we formulate the equations of motion in terms of vectorial elements ... arriving at equations that capture the secular orbital evolutions. The averaging results and ...
