How
much the
SW
affects
Satellites & Space Probes
here
Basic
RR
will off course affect satellites too. These too
will have perigee precession periods, like those shown also planets and
moons has.
Relativistic
Resistance have 2 different period
The influence will affect 2 periods exactly like planets and moves have
it.
In
both cases the same equation can be used.

A satellite
is loosing gravitational energy half of its orbit, - due to RR, - hence it "falls"
(losing altitude). The second period of its orbit when moving
opposite the absolute RR
direction the satellite "climbs" and thus gain back the lost altitude.
The calculation below shows how much different
astronomic object decelerate
per ½ orbit due to RR
.
