Convergent Explanatory Power of SP3 Across Diverse Mechanical Satellite Anomalies

Mechanical satellites and spacecraft provide some of the most controlled and wellcharacterized dynamical systems ever deployed, yet several missions have exhibited small,persistent anomalies that resist complete explanation within instantaneous force modelsalone. This paper proposes that such residual behaviors may be coherently interpretedwithin the SP3 (Saturation–Phase–Memory) framework, in which space respondscumulatively to repeated motion and forcing. Because artificial satellites have preciselyknown geometries, trajectories, and operational histories, they function as clean probes ofwhether space-phase memory contributes measurable higher-order effects to transport anddynamics.In this paper, SP3 is used strictly as a residual-classification and transport-interpretationframework layered atop standard gravitational, relativistic, and engineering models, ratherthan as a replacement for established spacecraft dynamics.
