title = "Semi analytical implementation of tesseral harmonics perturbations for high eccentricity orbits",
abstract = "In the frame of the French Space Operations Act, CNES addresses the compliance of disposal orbit with the law technical requirement: long term orbit propagation techniques are required. To ensure reasonable computation times, a semi-analytical method has been adopted and implemented in the STELA tool (Semi-Analytical Tool for End of Life Analysis). The paper details the semianalytical implementation of tesseral harmonics perturbations in STELA, which is valid for high eccentricity orbits. The algorithm is discussed, validation results are given and the impacts of tesseral perturbation on the statistical lifetime distribution of geostationary transfer orbits are presented.",
