Eclipse intervals for satellites in circular orbit under the effects of Earth’s oblateness and solar radiation pressure

Authors

Abstract

In this work, the circumstances of eclipse for a circular satellites’ orbit are studied. The time of passage of the ingress and egress points is calculated. Finally, the eclipse intervals of satellites’ orbit are calculated. An application was done taken into account the effects of solar radiation pressure and Earth’s oblateness on the orbital elements of circular orbit satellite.
