Investigation of heliogeoactivity impact on the dynamics of orbital parameters of Earth’s artificial satellites. I

Abstract

The influence of active processes on the Sun and their response on the dynamics of Earth’s artificial satellites has been investigated. The relationship between the characteristics of solar activity and variations of the periods P of the orbital motion of Earth’s artificial satellites has been found. These variations mainly indicate the variations in the Earth’s atmosphere density caused by solar activity (index F_10.7) and geomagnetic activity (ΣK_p index). High values of the correlation coefficients between P and ^F_10.7 (–0.77…–0.91) and between P and ΣK_p (–0.67…–0.89) exhibit significant effect of solar and geomagnetic activity on the orbital periods of satellites.
