Close encounters of the stellar kind (2014, background): “Article number, page 10 of 13page.13 From the theory of orbits (e.g. Curtis 2009), the perihelion distance when only this force is acting is dhypph = √ a2 + d2 − a (9) where a = GMt/v2∞ (the semi-major axis), Mt is the sum of the masses, d is the impact parameter (the perihelion distance without…”
Orbital Edge Computing: Nanosatellite Constellations as a New Class of Computer System (2020, background): “Unlike more general, but less detailed, physics models [18], SGP4 is able to capture the effects of atmospheric drag through the empirical nature of the TLEs.”
