Abstract
A detailed theoretical analysis on the orbital lifetime and frozen orbit of low-moon-orbit satellites (LMOS) is carried out, and their relationships with the orbital inclination, as well as some mutual relationships are presented. Taking account of the main perturbing sources of low-orbit satellites, we carried out numerical simulations under a comprehensive force model, and the results not only confirm the correctness of the theoretical analysis, but also provide some valuable insights on the orbital design of LMOS.
