RETRACTED: Analytical orbit predictions for low and high eccentricity orbits using uniformly regular KS canonical elements in an oblate atmosphere

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy).This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief due to extensive overlap with a paper that had already appeared in Acta Astronautica in vol. 68, pages 1865–1871 in 2011. ("Decay of high eccentricity satellite orbits with air drag using uniformly regular KS canonical elements" C. S. Anitha and R. K. Sharma 10.1016/j.actaastro.2011.01.003).One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
