Orbital Perturbations

Orbital Perturbations is a dynamical deviation in the trajectory of a celestial or artificial satellite from its ideal two-body Keplerian orbit, caused by external forces such as gravitational influences from third bodies, atmospheric drag, solar radiation pressure, or non-spherical mass distributions of the primary body.
