A numerical comparison of atmospheric density models for near- earth satellite motion

The effect of the atmosphere on near-earth satellites is evaluated by consideration of the drag perturbation and the associated dispersion parameters. Recommendations are made for each of these dispersion parameters. The recommendation concerning the density is that a dynamic density model be utiliz...
