Long Term Dynamics of Debris Objects in MEO

Medium Earth orbit is subject to destabilizing luni-solar resonances due to the gravity of the Moon and Sun. This paper analyses this region using several different methods to calculate the drift between initial conditions. We also examine the how high area to mass ratio (HAMR) objects behave in this region and the interaction between solar radiation pressure and resonant dynamics. This enables us to have a better understanding of the long term dynamics of this region.
