Abstract
The effect of the C-22 gravity field term on a particle is evaluated analyt ically over one orbit to find the change in orbit energy and angular moment um as an explicit function of the orbital inclination, argument of pericent er, longitude of the ascending node, orbit parameter and eccentricity. Chan ges in orbit energy and angular momentum are shown to be proportional to a family of integrals which can be parameterized in terms of eccentricity and non-dimensional pericenter radius.
