Abstract

The launching of artificial satellites under the various fields of forces has created a
revolution in the field of space research. Many researches numerical as well as
analytical have been developed to investigate the problem. Here a new method has been explored to deal with the problem .It is the method of application of Integral Equations. The motion of an artificial satellite in the gravitational field of an oblate spheroid have been studied .We have found the solution by choosing a suitable kernel .The convergency and uniqueness of the solution have also been examined .The error committed in closing the approximations at nth stage has been calculated.

Keywords
Approximation, Gravitational, Oblate , kernel
