Lecture:

• Reference systems in space and time
• Two-body problem and Keplerian motion
• Orbit representations, Keplerian elements, groundtracks, repeat orbits
• Orbit perturbations, osculating elements, Gaussian perturbation equations, types of perturbations
• Gravitational perturbations by third bodies and Earth's gravity field
