Experimental estimate of aerodynamic perturbation in the motion of AES due to the upper earth atmosphere's influence.
Abstract
An estimate of the aerodynamic perturbation in the motion of AES due to the influence of the upper earth atmosphere is derived using low-perigee Cosmos satellite drag data. The accuracy of one analytical model of the upper atmosphere density is determined.
