                         particles around the Earth subject to the effects of radiation 
                         pressure. Our main goal is to study the evolution of its relative 
                         velocity with respect to the co-planar circular orbits that it 
                         crosses. The particles were initially in a circular geostationary 
                         orbit, and the particles size were in the range between 1 and 100 
                         mum. The radiation pressure produces variations in its 
                         eccentricity, resulting in a change in its orbital velocity. The 
                         results indicated the maximum linear momentum and kinetic energy 
                         increases as the particle size increases. For a particle of 1 mum 
                         the kinetic energy is approximately 1.56 x 10(-7) J and the 
                         momentum is 6.27 x 10(-11) kg m/s and for 100 mum the energy is 
                         approximately 1.82 x 10(-4) J and the momentum is 2.14 x 10(-6) kg
