A few remarks around this:\n\n- AFAIK magnetorque-ing is being used to change orientation but not for\nchanging orbit. I wonder what would happen in your scenario: I kind of\nexpect the satellite to change orientation because of the impossibility of\nexactly opposing the poles.\n\n- I assume that magnetorque-ing is achieved by sending a current through a\ncoil. The force on a conductor in a magnetic field is:\n\tForce = current [A] x length [m] x magnetic field [Tesla]\nThe magnetic field of Mother Earth is about 0.00005 Tesla at the surface so\na fraction of that at satellite altitude. Generating usable force looks like\na challenge.\n\n\n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On\nBehalf Of lu7abf\nSent: Monday, February 19, 2007 4:48 AM\nTo: [email protected]\nSubject: [amsat-bb] Could we raise orbit thru magnetorque?\n\nIn thinking on a future satellite project, this question was made.\n\nArgument is: if when satellite is in the north, a north magnetic field is\napplied on z plane, will satellite raise orbit ? Same but opposite on south.\nConsidering limited energy available could this raise be significant if\napplied on all orbits ?. \n\nTks for any answer or argument.\n\nlu7abf, Pedro Converso\[email protected]\nwww.amsat.org.ar \n_______________________________________________\nSent via [email protected].
