The orbit typically defines the space mission lifetime, cost, environment, communication links, coverage, availability of launch vehicle, and the payload performance. The numerical and mathematical models are expressed to compute the satellite{u2019}s orbit by MATLAB software under the gravitational second zonal harmonic effect ER -
