Resum
Motivated by the practical interest in the third-body perturbation as a natural cleaning mechanism for high-altitude Earth orbits, we investigate the dynamics stemming from the secular Hamiltonian associated with the lunar perturbation, assuming that the Moon lies on the ecliptic plane. The secular Hamiltonian defined in that way is characterized by two timescales. We compare the location and stability of the fixed points associated with the secular Hamiltonian averaged with respect to the fast variable with the corresponding periodic orbits of the full system. Focusing on the orbit of the Galileo satellites, it turns out that the two dynamics cannot be confused, as the relative difference depends on the ratio between the semi-major axis of Galileo and the one of the Moon, that is not negligible. The result is relevant to construct rigorously the Arnold diffusion mechanism that can drive a natural growth in eccentricity that allows a satellite initially on a circular orbit in Medium Earth Orbit to reenter into the Earth’s atmosphere.
