Solar Radiation Pressure (SRP)
While Solar Radiation Pressure (SRP)/) is a significant factor in deep space missions, its influence in LEO is often dwarfed by atmospheric drag, especially below $500 \text{ km}$. However, for spacecraft with extremely high area-to-mass ratios (e.g., thin-film deployable structures or defunct upper stages), the momentum transfer from solar photons remains a non-negligible perturbation.
