摘要: The supersynchronous resonance occurred because the orbital period of 4 1/3 days was nearly commensurate with earth's rotational period. satellite launched on May 24, 1967. perturbation due to commensurability is discussed, giving attention ground track longitude at perigee passage and effect tesseral harmonic time passage. measurement Imp accurate enough provide a stringent test third-degree terms in model gravitational field.
