Micro-satellite Mission Analysis : Theory Overview and Some Examples

• Rudimentary mission analysis for micro-satellites has been carried out, in particular for ionospheric/thermospheric “dipper” missions. The basic equations of orbital mechanics are summarized and commented on. General properties of near-Earth orbits are discussed and exemplified in figures and tables. In addition, a few specific mission scenarios are described and discussed.
