More about the book
Continuous electric propulsion presents innovative methods for manipulating satellite orbits, enhancing target coverage significantly. By employing very low perigee elliptical orbits, satellites can effectively access Earth's surface and atmosphere while mitigating atmospheric drag. Modeling indicates that electric propulsion can improve target access by up to 30% for circular orbits and nearly 70% for elliptical ones. Further research is recommended to optimize thrust duration and angles, as well as to develop scheduling algorithms for precise satellite maneuvering.
