A detailed study of the conditions for the realization of the phenomena of magnetic and gravity capture (MGC) of nanoparticles (NP) injected into the near-Earth space in circular orbits with altitudes and inclinations characteristic for orbits of satellites of navigation systems (GLONASS, GPS, etc.) is carried out. Spherical aluminum oxide particles with radii from 4 to 100 nm were considered as injected particles. It was assumed that injection of NP is performed at various points of circular orbits with a height of 19130 km, an inclination angle to the equatorial plane equal to 64.8 degrees and a longitude of the ascending node of 0, 120 and 240 degrees. Calculations of the motion of nanoparticles in near-Earth space were performed for conditions of low level solar and geomagnetic activity. The results of numerical experiments show that for all the considered spatial orientations of the orbit of the parent body (PB) of the NP motion in the magnetic and gravitational capture mode with extremely long orbital existence times (more than two years) can be realized only for nanoparticles with radii in the narrow gap from 8.6 to 10.2 nm.
