Abstract<p>Computer simulations were carried out to investigate the dependence of the main perturbation parameters (Sun and Moon attractions, solar radiation pressure, atmosphere drag, and geopotential of Earth) on the orbital behavior of satellite. In this simulation, the Cowell method for accelerations technique was adopted, the equation of motion with perturbation was solved by 4<sup>th</sup> order Runge-Kutta method with step (1/50000) of period to obtain the state vectors for position and velocity. The results of this simulation have been compared with data that available on TLEs (NORD data in two line elements). The results of state vectors for satellites (Cartosat-2B, Gsat-14 and Spot-6) shows excellent correlation and this is leading us to extend our study for (spot-6) satellite to include the orbital behavior during 13000 periods under the effect of one type of perturbation or all types. The results indicate that all perturbation have clear effect on spot-6 orbit, reduced the perigee and apogee about 3 Km. during 89 days, also the time of period reduced 4.7 sec. Other conclusions present that the perigee angle increases 28.01 degree with any perturbation accept SRP. Furthermore, the geopotential have a big periodic effect but the atmospheric drag have accumulated effect on most orbital elements.</p>
