Long-term orbital lifetime predictions are analyzed. |
|
Predictions were made for three satellites: the Solar Max |
|
Mission (SMM), the Long Duration Exposure Facility |
|
(LDEF), and the Pegasus Boiler Plate (BP). A technique is |
|
discussed for determining an appropriate ballistic |
|
coefficient to use in the lifetime prediction. The |
|
orbital decay rate should be monitored regularly. |
|
Ballistic coefficient updates should be done whenever |
|
there is a significant change in the actual decay rate or |
|
in the solar activity prediction. |
