| Popis: | The behavior of the empirically determined along-track accelerations from the LAGEOS satellites has been attributed to a variety of physical phenomena. Of these, the models for Yarkovsky thermal drag, anisotropic reflectivity and Yarkovsky-Schach drag are dependent on the spin axis orientation of the satellite. This investigation explores the utilization of these models in an attempt to recover the spin axis orientation history, particularly for the LAGEOS I satellite. |
