Orbital decay of objects in Low Earth orbit

Analysing the effect of the aerodynamic characteristics and initial state uncertainty on orbital decay

This thesis aims to improve the accuracy of re-entry epoch prediction for decaying satellites in orbit. It explores the impact of aerodynamic coefficients, rotational dynamics, and initial state uncertainties on re-entry prediction. By using SPARTA software, the study generates a ...
