The solution of the Generalized Kepler's equation

Space Physics 2019-02-15 v1

Abstract

In the context of general perturbation theories, the main problem of the artificial satellite analyses the motion of an orbiter around an Earth-like planet, only perturbed by its equatorial bulge or J2 effect. By means of a Lie transform and the Krylov-Bogoliubov-Mitropolsky method, a first-order theory in closed form of the eccentricity is produced. During the evaluation of the theory it is necessary to solve a generalization of the classical Kepler's equation. In this work, the application of a numerical technique and three initial guesses to the Generalized Kepler's equation are discussed.
