The influence of air drag and the geopotential on near-circular satellite orbits, eccentricity e < 0.01, is considered. A model of the atmosphere is adopted that allows for oblateness, and in which the density behaviour approximates to the observed diurnal variation. Differential equations governing the variation in e and the argument of perigee ω are derived by combining the effects of air drag with those of the Earth’s gravitational field. These are solved numerically using initial conditions obtained from a series of computed orbits of the satellite 1963-27 A. The behaviour of the orbital elements predicted by the numerical solution is compared with the observed elements to test the developed theory, and to obtain values of atmospheric parameters at heights near 400 km.

We present analytic solutions of Maxwell equations for infinitely long cylindrical conductors with nonvanishing electric charge and currents in the external background spacetime of a line gravitomagnetic monopole. It has been shown that vertical magnetic field arising around cylindrical conducting shell carrying azimuthal current will be modified by the gravitational field of NUT source. We obtain that the purely general relativistic magnetic field which has no Newtonian analog will be produced around charged gravitomagnetic monopole.


The structure of theories used in determining the gravitational field from the perturbations of orbits of artificial satellites is discussed and it is shown how it corresponds to the fact that small departures from a Keplerian ellipse are readily observed. Some current problems are mentioned. Statistical problems in the estimation of parameters of the field from orbital data are considered and recent estimates are summarized
