Solar Radiation Pressure (SRP) Theory | Orbital Mechanics with Python 19

Описание: In this video I cover the theory side of the solar radiation pressure perturbation. I go over the necessary geometry for this problem and go over a paper from the NASA website covering orbits around small bodies, which gives us an equation to calculate the magnitude of the solar radiation pressure perturbation. I also mention that solar radiation pressure has a part in why comets look the way they do.

I've actually already made a video about orbital mechanics around small bodies (for a class, before I even started this video series). I'll make a few videos in the future going deeper into detail into this subject but for now you can see this one:
