GTO; satellites; Ariane5; parking orbit; perturbationsAbstract
Employing the Hohmann transfer technique, the study has delved into optimizing satellite transfers from LEO to GTO by identifying the ideal parking orbit. The research aimed at boosting the effectiveness of Ariane 5 rockets and involved coaxial elliptical orbits. Critical parameters were recognized for a successful transition to GTO, including initial conditions such as an altitude of 259.2 kilometers, velocity of 7.81822802 meters/second, and specific values for semi-major axis, eccentricity, inclination, argument of perigee, and longitude of the ascending node (6757.74 km, 0.0178166, 2°, 178°, 0 respectively). Through meticulous analysis, the study meticulously delineated these crucial factors.
This study illuminates significant aspects of satellite technology and mission planning and represents an important step towards breakthroughs in orbital transfers. By carefully managing perturbations such as atmospheric drag, solar radiation pressure, and gravitational effects, this investigation advances our comprehension of satellite dynamics. The critical importance of precise parameterization and nuanced perturbation management is underscored by our research, which offers invaluable insights into the evolution of the satellite industry.
