We discuss the influence of the gravity gradient on satellite orbits. Regarding a satellite as an inertial ellipsoid, not point mass, the gravitational force acting on it includes the force due to the gravity gradient, which we call "gravity gradient force ." The gravity gradient force depends on the inertial matrix of the system and changes according
