Abstract
The paper presents the results of a study of the dynamic structure of the orbital space of the navigation systems GLONASS and GPS. It is shown that the dynamic structure of the GLONASS region is determined by the action of one stable Lidov–Kozai secular resonance. The motion of almost all the retired objects of the GLONASS system is stable throughout the 100-year study period. In the GPS region, there is an orbital resonance and a large number of secular resonances. Their combined influence leads to a rapid increase in the eccentricity of the orbits of the retired objects of the system. Features of the dynamic structure of the orbital space are used to find the graveyard (parking) orbits of the retired objects of navigation systems.
