Résumé
The algebra underlying the elimination of the parallax transformation is known to be useful in relegating short-period effects due to tesseral harmonics of the Geopotential. In the case of low-eccentricity orbits, a judicious selection of the generating function of the relegation algorithm allows for a straightforward simplification. Application to low-eccentricity orbits in the medium Earth orbits region illustrates the benefits of the relegation approach. © 2013 IAA.
