Description of the Book:

It is desired that the Nimbus meteorological satellite always cross the equator around local noon and, half-an-orbit later, cross the equator in the other direction around local midnight. The application of the phenomenon of nodal regression toward this end is discussed, and an analysis of the parameters angles of inclination, periods, and heights of such “ideal” circular orbits is presented. Also, the relative motion of the apparent versus the fictitious mean sun is briefly discussed
