Instructions

This project requires students to work in groups of $2-4$ students. Each group shall submit a single report

for grading. The report should make a simple table of members' names, student IDs and their

contributions to the report.

Assignment Description

Develop a MATLAB program to solve the following problems. For simplicity, we assume circular

orbits only, i$.$e$.,$ eccentricity $e=0$

The program takes as input the five orbital parameters:

Orbit height over ground Inclination $h$

Inclination $i$

Eccentricity $i=0,$ here

Right Ascension of the Ascending Node $($RAAN$)$

Angle of Perigee

Assume the latitude $$ and longitude $$ of the satellite over ground $($so called subsatellite point$)$ to be

$==0$ at the time $t=0s.$

Find the latitude $$ and longitude $$ of the satellite as a function of $t.$

Plot the location over ground on a world map.

Plot the location in space over a globe in a $3D$ view.

Find the elevation and azimuth angles of the satellite with respect to the ground station as a

function of t$.$ Assume your city of birth as the ground station location.

Mark the time slots when the satellite is visible.

$[6$ Marks$]$

Find the distance of the satellite to ground station as a function of time.

$[5$ Marks$]$

Plot the distance, elevation, and azimuth for one exemplary overpass of the satellite.
