Air resistance and the earth's shadow caused by solar pressure in the system of two inextensible cable-connected satellites in orbit are represented by the equation of relative motion

Abstract

The current study addresses the circular orbit's differential equations of motion. Concerning the centre of mass by putting e=0 and hence ?=1/(1+e cos?v )=1 and ?^'=0 in the equation (1.5.12) for three dimensional case.
