Satellite Dynamics

Satellite Dynamics is a theoretical framework within Newtonian gravitation that models the motion of artificial and natural satellites under gravitational forces by integrating orbital mechanics with perturbative influences such as atmospheric drag, tidal effects, and non-spherical mass distributions of planetary bodies.
