Abstract
This paper deals with the development of orbit
propagator for low Earth orbiting satellites incorporating
dominant perturbations for them. This simulator involves
modelling the space environment and the perturbing forces of
interest and incorporating them in the two body Keplerian
propagation to optimize the propagation. Orbit propagation
algorithms and environment models have been developed and
optimized using MATLAB-SIMULINK simulations for
different scenarios. On SIMULINK, the models are developed
using embedded blocks so that the model can be finally
embedded into the DSP Kit. Space industry software are used
for the code validation and the results obtained are found to be
identical.
