Anisotropic reflection effect on satellite, Ajisai

Sengoku, A. / Cheng, M. K. / Schutz, B. E.

Summary A model for the anisotropic reflection force acting on Ajisai is presented which includes the variable reflectivity coefficient and the force in the direction perpendicular to the incident light. This model significantly reduces the along-track orbit errors of Ajisai and smoothes the spike-like variation in the estimated drag coefficients from analysis of Ajisai laser ranging data. The model produces 17% smaller range residual RMS values in a one-year arc analysis of 1993 data, and a smaller residual RMS for a short-arc analysis in mid-year, the period from May to August, 1993.
