Quasi-Geostationary Earth Orbits for Space Solar Power Infrastructure and Other Low Area Density Satellites

Gregory D. Durgin

Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

This paper explains non-Keplerian orbital behavior for thin, large earth-based satellites with very low area density. We demonstrate a unique new solution that produces a new, quasi-geostationary earth orbit (QGEO) that can help with economical deployment of space solar power satellites as well as the mitigation of space debris for all satellites.
