BSTAR is a way of modeling aerodynamic drag on a satellite in the SGP4 satellite orbit propagation model. Traditionally, aerodynamic resistance ("drag") is given by : where is the air density, is the drag coefficient, is the frontal area, and is the velocity. The acceleration due to drag is then : In aerodynamic theory, the factor : is called the ballistic coefficient, and its unit is area per mass. Further incorporating air density and the factor of two in the denominator, we get the ''starred'' ballistic coefficient: : thus reducing the expression for the acceleration due to drag to : As it can be seen, has a unit of inverse length. For orbit propagation purposes, there is a field for BSTAR drag in Two-line element set (TLE) files, where it is to be given in units of inverse Earth radii. ==References== # (Frequently Asked Questions: Two-Line Element Set Format ) # (BSTAR Drag Term ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「BSTAR」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
