LEO Satellite Stationkeeping: Delta Vs & Requirements

  • Thread starter Thread starter drag
  • Start date Start date
AI Thread Summary
Data on stationkeeping requirements for LEO satellites, specifically delta Vs per orbiting period, is sought after in this discussion. Participants express difficulty in finding concrete information, with references to textbooks like Larson and Wertz (1992) and Griffen and French (1991) mentioned as potential resources. The conversation highlights the challenges of locating specific data on fuel needs for satellite missions. Overall, the thread emphasizes a need for more accessible information on the topic. Engaging with these references may provide some insights into the requirements for LEO satellite stationkeeping.

Greetings !

I'd appreciate data & links on stationkeeping requirements of LEO settelites.
(delta Vs per orbiting period)

Thanks. :smile:

Hi drag,

I just scanned through my assortment of textbooks and haven't been able to find any hard data. I have found references which describe how satellite missions are planned including the sizing of fuel needs. I don't know how much you'll find in them, but here they are:

Larson and Wertz, 1992

Griffen and French, 1991
 

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
