For small eccentricities e, the deviation of the position of an object in a nearly circular eccentric orbit deviates from a ideal circular orbit as an ellipse, with a width of 4e and a height of 2e. This is difficult to compute analytically, but easy to show numerically. Here is a plot the normalized loci of the x,y position in the rotating frame, for various values of eccentricity: | |

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 )
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

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
M288 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: This table uses the classic formula \omega^2 a^3 = \mu , and does not take into account the oblate spheroid shape of the Earth, and many other perturbations. However, with the perturbations included, and with good data from ground stations and GPS to establish positions and velocities, we really can compute these numbers to this many decimal places. So while the numbers above are actually far less accurate, they represent the precision of the measurements we will someday compute.
The eccentricities for the M orbits assume orbits mapped onto a 50km minor radius toroid.
