Questions about orbits utilizing nodal precession so that spacecraft are able to maintain the same local mean solar time at any given point of an orbit. The effect is achieved through choosing inclination and altitudes of the apses.

Sun synchronous orbit and LTAN
Let me try. I'm not sure if I'm right so take everything with a grain of salt, but that's how I'd approach it.
Instead of trying to find the precise eclipses that will occur (based on LTAN) and tryin …

Are sun-synchronous orbits possible around any body?
No. First, the matter of oblateness which introduces the necessary precession. In some cases it will force the sun-synchronous orbit altitude below the body's surface (obviously impossible). In other …

How Local time of a sun synchronous orbit is related to Right ascension of ascending node?
The special property of sun-synchronous satellites is the precession, at pace equal to Earth's orbital period around the Sun (1 year). That means, the satellite's RAAN drifts by a full 360 degrees ove …
