Orlov method

The Orlov method is a technique used in celestial mechanics to analyze the motion of objects influenced by gravity, such as satellites or planets. It involves transforming the complex equations governing their paths into a simpler form by identifying quantities that stay constant over time, known as integrals of motion. This approach helps scientists predict an object's trajectory more easily by reducing the problem's complexity, especially during certain types of orbital changes or perturbations, making it a valuable tool in space navigation and understanding gravitational systems.
