Satellite Motion
• From the beginning…
![Page 6: Introduction to Satellite Motion](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5681512f550346895dbf49a5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
History Lesson
• 270 BC Aristarchus of Samos proposes a sun centred universe.
• 140 AD Ptolemy proposes earth centred universe
![Page 7: Introduction to Satellite Motion](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5681512f550346895dbf49a5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Copernicus (1473 - 1543)
• Explains planetary motion in a sun centred universe
• Proposes circular orbits with epicircles

Tycho Brahe (1546 - 1601)
• Measured motion of planets to an unprecedented accuracy.
• Proposed a model where the planets orbit the sun and the sun orbits the earth.

Johannes Kepler (1571-1630)
• From Brahe’s measurements of mars’ motion concluded that mars’ orbit was elliptical with the sun at one focus.

Kepler’s First Law
1. The planets move in a plane; the orbits described are ellipses with the sun at one focus (1602).
![Page 11: Introduction to Satellite Motion](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5681512f550346895dbf49a5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Kepler’s Second Law
2. The vector from the sun to the planet sweeps equal areas in equal times (the law of areas, 1605).
![Page 12: Introduction to Satellite Motion](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/5681512f550346895dbf49a5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Kepler’s Third Law
3. The ratio of the square of the period of revolution of a planet around the sun to the cube of the semi major axis of the ellipse is the same for all planets (1618).

Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727)

Kepler Elements
• Objective:– Define the satellite’s position
• Solution:– Define the size and shape of the orbit– Define the orbit in space– Define the satellite’s position in the orbit
• Kepler Elements

Defining the Orbital Plane in Space
1. Inclination, i
2. Right Ascension of the ascending node,
3. Argument of Perigee,

Inclination, i
• Angle between the equatorial plane and the orbital plane

Right Ascension of the
Ascending Node, • Angle between the vernal equinox
direction and the ascending node.
