Investigation of Light Pressure Influence on Dynamics of Near-Earth Objects in Resonant Orbits

Resumo

The results of an analysis of changes in resonant orbital dynamics of near-Earth objects, which are caused by light pressure, are presented. We describe features of the orbital evolution of the objects subjected to the combined effect of secular resonances and light pressure. It was shown that the transfer of objects to highly elliptical and hyperbolic orbits is possible when the object’s area-to-mass ratio is large.
