Orbital dynamics of space debris considering natural perturbations and resonance effects

In this work, we analyzed the orbital evolution of space debris in low Earth orbits to identify unstable regions that could serve as reentry corridors and stable regions that could be used as graveyard orbits, taking into account the main natural orbital perturbations. An analytical study was conduc...

description In this work, we analyzed the orbital evolution of space debris in low Earth orbits to identify unstable regions that could serve as reentry corridors and stable regions that could be used as graveyard orbits, taking into account the main natural orbital perturbations.

We identified resonance corridors that, combined with the deployment of a solar sail at the end of the mission, amplified the growth of the eccentricity, promoting the reduction of the orbital perigee.
