The two body dynamics of an orbiting particle is usually governed by Newton's
laws of gravity and mechanics. Here the Kepler problem has been studied with the addition of the Lorentz force of magnetism. For micrometeoroids and small man made debris particles electromagnetic interactions may become important. The space environment is filled with charged particles, electrons and ions, that may be deposited on a 1 - 100 microns sized particle. The orbits of such charged particles have been modeled in earth orbit, with the dipole magnetic field superposed on the gravity field. An initial study of this problem has been conducted. Figures 1 illustrates a 600 second time frame of particles in a 300 kilometer altitude Earth orbit with a 5.7' inclination. The solid line is the pure Kepler problem. The dashed lines are the paths taken by various sized particles with a single positive charge of 1.6x10-'~ coulombs. » Micron Associates GRAVITO-MAGNETIC ORBITS FOR MICRON SIZED PARTICLES, L. B.
