Atmospheric Density at 169km From Accelerometer Measurements and Orbital Decay of a Low-Altitude Satellite.

摘要

Atmospheric densities at 169 km were obtained for the period 19 August - 3 September 1970 from the measurements of an accelerometer on a low-altitude satellite and from the orbital decay of the same satellite. Three different sets of local-time and latitude conditions were provided by the data; two from the accelerometer measurements, before and after perigee, and one at perigee, from the oribital decay data.
