dc.description.abstractThe present study was undertaken to determine the effects of the aerodynamics on a close earth orbit and reentry trajectory. The aerodynamic influence is compared to the effects of the earth’s oblateness, the sun, and the moon. In order to obtain maximum accuracy and computational speed Encke’s perturbative procedures were used during orbital periods and Cowell’s integration procedures during thrust and reentry periods.en
