Geomagnetic field models for satellite angular motion
Abstract:
Four geomagnetic field models are discussed. These models are IGRF, inclined and right dipoles and averaged one. Geomagnetic induction vector is provided in different reference frames for these models. The vector motion is compared for different models. Models are compared using both analytical and numerical analysis techniques. Preferred models for different cases are outlined.
