Popis: Expressions are given for the first order node-to-node perturbations in the orbital elements of a satellite due to an arbitrary zonal harmonic of the geopotential. Accurate and efficient procedures for computing such perturbations are necessary for orbit determination methods which will fully utilize the highly accurate observations now available.
