Frozen Orbit Design |
| Description: | Determines the mean orbital eccentricity required for a frozen orbit. The user provides the mean semimajor axis and inclination and the program calculates the eccentricity using Brent’s method to solve the single constraining nonlinear equation. A frozen orbit is characterized by the absence of long-term changes in orbital eccentricity and argument of perigee. This type of orbit maintains almost constant altitude over any particular point on a planet’s surface. The design of frozen orbits involves selecting the correct value of orbital eccentricity and argument of perigee, for a given semimajor axis and orbital inclination, which satisfies a system of nonlinear perturbation equations. |
