Keeping Satellites Out of the Shadow

Field notes

The homepage frames the work around a specific orbital condition: the usual dawn–dusk orbit may still fall short of keeping a satellite out of Earth’s shadow. It says the paper examines the relevant altitude and available margin, and identifies its frame of analysis as mean-Sun rotating. The page names Kyle Cooper and Yanni Nikas and invites readers to sign up for occasional follow-ups on the paper, subsequent modelling, and questions.
