AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding tutorials for understanding orbital elements perturbations of artificial Earth satellites. A user seeks recommendations for resources that cover propagation algorithms considering main perturbations like Earth's potential, solar pressure, and third-body influences. The book "Modern Astrodynamics" by Bond and Allman is suggested as a useful reference for ambient gravitational fields and certain perturbations. However, it is noted that modeling solar wind effects may be overly complex for practical purposes. Overall, the thread emphasizes the need for accessible educational materials on satellite orbit perturbations.

Hello! First I am new at this forum and would like to say hello to everybody :)
Second- I am looking for a good tutorial on artificial Earth satellites orbit perturbations. Can somebody give me an advice where I can find it? Do you know any propagation algorithms for artificial satellites that involves main perturbations (Earth's potential, solar pressure, 3rd body)?

Bond and Allman, Modern Astrodynamics should help with ambient gravitational field of the Earth plus perturbations from Moon, a second satellite (not sure what you have in mind), but not, I think, solar wind buffeting. But you probably wouldn't try to model the latter anyway--- its too complicated.
 
Is a homemade radio telescope realistic? There seems to be a confluence of multiple technologies that makes the situation better than when I was a wee lad: software-defined radio (SDR), the easy availability of satellite dishes, surveillance drives, and fast CPUs. Let's take a step back - it is trivial to see the sun in radio. An old analog TV, a set of "rabbit ears" antenna, and you're good to go. Point the antenna at the sun (i.e. the ears are perpendicular to it) and there is...

Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b.
