This is the first reference and handbook since the satellite era began, whichdescribes and derives systematically the orbit theory with theoretical solutions of the equations of satellite motion, with respect to all of the extraterrestrial and geopotential disturbances of the second order. The equations of satellite motion perturbed by extraterrestrial disturbances are solved by means of discretization and approximated potential functions as well as Gaussian equations. The equations perturbed by geopotential disturbances are solved by using symbolic mathematical operations. The traditional problem of singularity inthe solutions is solved by so-called singularity-free theory. Simplified disturbed equations of motion are proposed to simplify the solutions. Applicationsof the theory for analytic orbit determination are discussed. The contents cover the complete orbit theory and the analytic solutions of the disturbed satellite orbits as well as their applications. First book since the satellite erabegan, which describes orbit theory with analytical solutions of the second order with respect to all possible disturbances Based on such theory, the algorithms of orbits determination are completely revolutionized
