The model takes into account a series of orbital perturbations such as the gravitational potential of the Earth, the atmospheric drag, the Sun and the Moon as disturbing third bodies or the solar radiation pressure. It also includes a new numerical method that improves the repeating ground-track property of any given satellite subjected to these perturbations. Moreover, the whole model allows to design constellations with multiple tracks that can be distributed in a minimum number of inertial orbits. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E48 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/2013-44217-R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/CUD2013-15 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 0.218 2016 Aerospace Engineering 2016 Q3 Space and Planetary Science 2016 Q4 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion (orcid)0000-0002-7620-4523 Casanova, Daniel (orcid)0000-0003-4859-7224 Tresaco, Eva 158, 1 (2016), 2823-2839 Adv. astronaut. sci.
