Fictional Forces in Orbit
In the rotating frame of a circular orbit, counterclockwise viewed from above the orbital plane, the directions are
direction |
unit vector |
description |
x |
\vec i |
Tangential to (along the line of) the orbit, in the orbital plane, pointing clockwise or westward |
y |
\vec j |
Radially outwards from the center of rotation, in the orbital plane |
z |
\vec k |
Perpendicular to the orbital plane, northwards |
The rotation is expressed as \vec \Omega = \omega \hat k , where \omega is the angular velocity of the orbit . The radial vector \vec r is composed of \vec r = x \vec i + y \vec j + z \vec k .
Coriolis acceleration: \Large \ddot{\vec r}_{Coriolis} = -2 \vec \Omega \times \dot { \vec r }
Centrifugal acceleration: \Large \ddot{\vec r}_{Centrifugal} = - \vec \Omega \times \vec \Omega \times \vec r
FROM HERE DOWN, WORK IN PROGRESS, NOT VERIFIED:
Centripedal (gravity) acceleration: \Large \ddot{\vec r}_{Centripedal} = \omega^2 ( 2 y \vec k - x \vec i - z \vec j )
In scalar equations:
\LARGE \ddot x = -2 \omega \dot y - \omega^2 x
\LARGE \ddot y = 2 \omega \dot x + 3 \omega^2 y
\LARGE \ddot z = -\omega^2 z
Locus of Elliptical Orbit Position in Rotating Frame
Periods of M orbits
M orbits describe the number of minutes an orbit takes travel once around the earth and return to the same position overhead. For server sky, these are integer fractions of a 1440 minute synodic day; this makes it easier to calculate the sky position given the orbital parameters and the time of day. the M288 orbit returns to the same apparent position 5 times per day, or 365.256...*5 times per year. That position moves around the earth 365.256...+1 times per year. So the total number of orbits per year, relative to the stars, is 365.256...*6+1 orbits per year. That is divided into the year length in seconds to yield the
Sidereal orbit time = ( 365.256... * 86400 ) / ( 365.256... * 6 + 1 ) = 86400 / ( 6 + 1/365.256... ) = 14393.43227 seconds
1 year = 365.256363004 days of 86,400 seconds, or 31558149.7635456 seconds
Note: The following table uses the classic formula \omega^2 a^3 = \mu from the books, and does not take into account the oblate spheroid shape of the Earth, which adds centripedal force for low orbits and thus should increase \omega and | C_3 | . So please check these numbers.
The eccentricities for the M orbits assume orbits mapped onto a 50km minor radius toroid.
