message: This article needs to feature the Lagrangian and Gaussian perturbation equations and perhaps some explanation of how they're applied and/or derived.  This is essential to understanding the topic beyond a popular level. Ryan Hardy (talk) 06:04, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Presently "Orbital perturbation" redirects to "Perturbation (astronomy)".  But I have added some stuff and plan to add some more that probably applies more directly to spacecraft orbit then to natural astronomical objects. Main difference is that spacecraft have a short orbital period and therefore have a rather constant environment for several successive orbits while the orbital periods of the different planets are of a similar magnitudes and the perturbation analysis for planets should therefore have a somewhat different characteristics.
Anyway, what had been put in the article until now was really thin!
 
I would like to revive "Orbital perturbation"! Or if astronomers prefer to have two articles, "Orbital perturbation (Astronomy)" and "Orbital perturbations (Spacecraft)". The latter with a lot of information of importance for "Orbit control" and "Mission design"

replies: text: I definitely think it should be kept, at least until we see how the spacecraft article evolves.  We still need a non-technical explanation, perhaps through examples, about how planetary perturbations occur in the Solar System. -- Kheider (talk) 19:42, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Sadly Orbital perturbation analysis (spacecraft) now just redirects to Orbital perturbation analysis which has very little to do with spacecraft. - Rod57 (talk) 11:32, 8 April 2017 (UTC)
