Resumen
The design of spatial missions to Mars requires the development of analytical theories in order to put artificial satellites in orbit around Mars. In this paper, we present a complete third order analytical model of a satellite perturbed by the zonal J 2,...,J 6 harmonics of the Mars potential. Two Lie transformations, the elimination of the Parallax and the elimination of the Perigee, and the Krylov-Bogoliubov-Mitropolsky method are applied to obtain a complete integration of the model. The algebraic expressions of the generators, the Hamiltonians and the integrals, together with a software code to compute the ephemeris of the satellite, are automatically obtained using our computer algebra system ATESAT. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2004.
