Abstract

This study addresses a systematic application of the attitude-dependent solar radiation pressure (SRP) to designing frozen orbits near small bodies subject to the dynamic environment of up to the fourth zonal effects for a long-term analysis on orbit-attitude coupled motions. It begins with selecting SRP models tailored to orbit-attitude coupled dynamics. A desired SRP model for that purpose should be capable of addressing both force and torque. Additionally, this study outlines a strategy for integrating the selected SRP model into the frozen orbit design. It first averages the SRP over both orbit and attitude, and re-aligns the first axis on the average SRP. Numerical simulations indicate that the proposed strategy is effective in maintaining average variations in orbital elements to be small.
