Special Features of the Joint Influence of Low-Order Secular Resonances and Light Pressure on the Motion of Near-Earth Space Objects.

Joint influence of secular resonances and light pressure on the long-term orbital evolution of objects in the near-earth space bounded by the semi-major axes of orbits from 15000 to 45000 km is considered. The orbital evolution of each object is considered for three area-to-mass ratios: 0.001, 1, and 10 m/kg. Special attention is given to a search for resonances whose influence increases the eccentricities of near-earth space object orbits and to their joint analysis with the influence of the light pressure force on the object dynamics.
