Relativistic Corrections
For missions involving high velocities (such as interplanetary probes nearing perihelion with the Sun/)) or extremely long observation periods, Newtonian mechanics breaks down, necessitating the inclusion of General Relativity corrections.
The most famous application is the anomalous perihelion advance of Mercury (planet)/), which cannot b…
