CHAPTER 5.MISSION ANALYSISt − t 0 =√a 35.2.2 The orbit of <strong>OUFTI</strong>-1µ(E − esin (E)) (5.13)For <strong>the</strong> orbital analysis, we used some home-maid Matlab programs and <strong>the</strong>STK software.As above mentioned, <strong>the</strong> following parameters are assigned:• Perigee altitude: r p =350 Km• Apogee altitude: r a =1200 Km• Inclination : i=71 ◦In order to have an idea of <strong>the</strong> orbit, we represented its ground track infig.5.10 and a tridimentional view in figure 5.11.Figure 5.10: <strong>OUFTI</strong>-1 orbit representation <strong>for</strong> 12 hours orbit(STK)Galli Stefania 37 University of Liège
