Solar Radiation Pressure Perturbation

Author: Tianjiang Shuo Website: https://cislunarspace.cn

Definition

Non-gravitational perturbation caused by solar photons hitting the satellite surface. Solar radiation pressure is one of the main perturbation sources for navigation satellites, and its precise modeling is crucial for high-precision orbit determination. Common radiation pressure models include empirical models, physical models, and semi-empirical/semi-physical models.

Application Value

This dynamic method or concept has significant application value in cislunar space mission analysis, helping to understand and optimize spacecraft motion characteristics.
