Publishing Scientific Research

Lecturer (Lect. Duaa Dhia Abboud) from the Department of Physics published a scientific research entitled (Calculating the best stable orbit for an artificial satellite around the Earth before launching it to enter its orbit around Mars), which was published in the Iraqi Journal of Science issued by the University of Baghdad – College of Science, and classified within the base Scopus data within (Q3).
This research aims to obtain the best stable orbital elements for a satellite intended for scientific research, especially for the purposes of studying the planetary atmosphere, with the aim of obtaining a stable orbit that consumes the least amount of energy and fuel possible and at the same time be stable for a long period of time without disturbances affecting its orbit. It aims to obtain the finest types of satellite images to study the atmosphere with high accuracy.
The most prominent conclusions came from taking into account the various types of disturbances affecting the stability of the orbit. Studying the atmosphere, its precise composition, and its immediate and potential changes in the future, and paying attention to studying climate and global warming and their future effects, such as lack of water and food, and increasing desertification, for the purpose of trying to address them in a sound scientific manner.
