Abstract

The Lagrange's planetary equations written in terms of the classical orbital elements have the disadvantage of singularities in eccentricity and inclination. These singularities are due to the mathematical model used and do not have physical reasons. In this paper, we studied the third-body perturbation using a single averaged model in nonsingular variables. The goal is to develop a semianalytical study of the perturbation caused in a spacecraft by a third body using a single averaged model to eliminate short-period terms caused by the motion of the spacecraft. This is valid if no resonance occurs with the moon or the sun. Several plots show the time histories of the Keplerian elements of equatorial and circular orbits, which are the situations with singularities. In this paper, the expansions are limited only to second order in eccentricity and for the ratio of the semimajor axis of the perturbing and perturbed bodies and to the fourth order for the inclination.
