Effects of lunisolar perturbations on TianQin constellation: An analytical model
TianQin is a proposed space-based gravitational-wave observatory mission that critically relies on the stability of an equilateral-triangle constellation. Comprising three satellites in high Earth orbits of a ${10}^{5}\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{km}$ radius, this constellation's geometric configuration is significantly affected by gravitational perturbations, primarily originating from the Moon and the Sun.
