Abstract
The objective of this research is to address the issue of frozen orbits in
charged satellites by incorporating geopotential zonal harmonics up to J6 and
the initial tesseral harmonics. The employed model starts from the first
normalized Hamiltonian to calculate specific sets of long-term frozen orbits for
charged satellites. To explore the frozen orbits acquired, a MATHEMATICA CODE is
developed. The investigation encompasses extensive variations in orbit altitudes
by employing the orbital inclination and argument of periapsis as freezing
parameters. The determined ranges ensuring frozen orbits are derived from the
generated figures. Three-dimensional presentations illustrating the freezing
inclination in relation to eccentricity, argument of periapsis, and semi-major
axis parameters are presented. Additional three-dimensional representations of
the phase space for the eccentricity vector and its projection onto the
nonsingular plane are examined. In all investigated scenarios, the impacts of
electromagnetic (EM) field perturbations on the freezing parameters of a charged
satellite are demonstrated.
