Effect of Magnetic Force of the Earth, Solar Radition Pressure and Shadow of the Earth on the Motin and Stability of the Inextensible Cable Connected Satellites System

Abstract

The proposed work is devoted to the study of the effect of magnetic force, solar radiation pressure and shadow of the earth on the motion and stability of two cable connected satellites. The satellites are considered to be material particle connected by light flexible, inextensible and non-conducting string. The body of the satellites acquires small charges through the owing to their scudding through the earth magnetic lines of force. This movement of charges through the magnetic field causes the lorentz force to come in to play, besides the ever present earth's gravitational field of force will move along a keplerian orbit.
