Abstract Orbital plane flips, a transition from prograde to retrograde motion or vice versa, is a phenomenon due to solar radiation pressure that is investigated. We consider initial near-circular orbits with different inclinations, including the vicinity of orbits of the GNSS satellites, GEO, geosynchronous orbits, and super-GEO region. Dynamical evolution of orbits is studied from a numerical simulation. Initial conditions for the objects are chosen in the GNSS orbit regions (GLONASS, GPS, BeiDou, Galileo) as well as 450–1100 km above to nominal semi-major axes of the navigation orbits, and in the vicinity of GEO, geosynchronous orbits, and super-GEO region. Initial data correspond to nearly circular orbits with the eccentricity 0.001. The initial inclination is varied from 55° to 64 . 8 ∘ . Initial values of longitude of ascending node are varied from 0° to 350°. High area-to-mass ratios are considered, at which orbital plane flips occur. Dynamical evolution covers periods of 24 and 240 years. The maximum inclination of the orbit is achieved when the longitude of the pericenter is sun-synchronous. Flips are possible only for objects with the area-to-mass ratio equal or more than 16 m 2 /kg (the radiation pressure coefficient is 1.44). The flips are caused precisely by solar radiation pressure. The Lidov–Kozai effect is suppressed by solar radiation pressure perturbations, affecting high area-to-mass ratio objects due to a secondary apsidal-nodal secular resonance.

由于太阳辐射压力对近圆形轨道中的空间碎片造成的轨道翻转

摘要 轨道平面翻转，即从前进运动到逆行运动的过渡，反之亦然，是一种由太阳辐射压力引起的现象。我们考虑具有不同倾角的初始近圆形轨道，包括GNSS卫星、GEO、地球同步轨道和超GEO区域的轨道附近。从数值模拟研究轨道的动力学演化。在 GNSS 轨道区域（GLONASS、GPS、北斗、伽利略）以及导航轨道标称半长轴上方 450-1100 公里处，以及在 GEO 附近、地球同步轨道、和超GEO区域。初始数据对应于偏心率为 0.001 的近圆形轨道。初始倾角从 55° 到 64° 不等。8 ∘ 。升交点经度的初始值在 0° 到 350° 之间变化。考虑了高面积质量比，此时会发生轨道平面翻转。动力演化涵盖了 24 年和 240 年的时期。当中心经度与太阳同步时，轨道倾角最大。只有面积质量比等于或大于 16 m 2 /kg（辐射压力系数为 1.44）的物体才能翻转。翻转正是由太阳辐射压力引起的。Lidov-Kozai 效应受到太阳辐射压力扰动的抑制，由于二次顶点 - 节点长期共振影响高面积质量比的物体。当中心经度与太阳同步时，轨道倾角最大。只有面积质量比等于或大于 16 m 2 /kg（辐射压力系数为 1.44）的物体才能翻转。翻转正是由太阳辐射压力引起的。Lidov-Kozai 效应受到太阳辐射压力扰动的抑制，由于二次顶点 - 节点长期共振影响高面积质量比的物体。当中心经度与太阳同步时，轨道倾角最大。只有面积质量比等于或大于 16 m 2 /kg（辐射压力系数为 1.44）的物体才能翻转。翻转正是由太阳辐射压力引起的。Lidov-Kozai 效应受到太阳辐射压力扰动的抑制，由于二次顶点 - 节点长期共振影响高面积质量比的物体。
