Book Description
Rotational Speed of the Upper Atmosphere, from the Orbits of Satellites 1966-51A, B and C
Dynamics of Satellites (1969)
Author: Bruno Morando
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642999662
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
This book gathers the proceedings of a symposium on Dynamics of satellites which took place in Prague in May 1969 during the twelfth COSPAR meeting. This symposium was sponsored by the International Astronomical Union, the International Association of Geodesy, the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics and COSPAR (Committee on Space Research). The organizing committee was composed of Dr. KOVALEVSKY chair man, Dr. Yu. V. BATRAKOV representing IAU, Dr. A. H. COOK for lAG, Dr. D. KING-HELE for COSPAR, Prof. M. Roy for IUTAM and Dr. ROSENBERG. I wish to take advantage of the opportunity to thank, on behalf of all the participants, the organizing committee members, Prof. BUCHAR, Dr. RAJSK:I and Dr. SEHNAL, for the kindness and efficiency of their welcome. The interpreters who translated with virtuosity during the whole symposium also deserve our gratitude. I am grateful also for the care and skill with which Springer-Verlag has printed this volume.

Measurements of Upper-Atmosphere Rotational Speed from Changes in Satellite Orbits
Author: D. G. King-Hele

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 18
Book Description
The rotation of the upper atmosphere subjects a satellite to an aerodynamic force normal to the orbit, which has the effect of slightly reducing the inclination of the orbit to the equator. The average rotational speed of the upper atmosphere at heights a little above that of perigee can be evaluated from the observed changes in orbital inclination. Since the change in inclination is small (less than 0.1 degree), the values generally have to be averaged over several months, and they can also be regarded as applying over latitudes up to about half the inclination, the effects being strongest at the equator. Recent results reviewed in the report confirm a previous finding that the upper atmosphere at heights of 200 to 350 km rotates on average faster than the Earth, and that the average rate of rotation increases with height from about 1.1 rev/day at 200 km to nearly 1.4 rev/day at 350 km. However, it appears that the rotation rate decreases above 350 km, to about 1.0 rev/day at 420 km and 0.7 rev/day at 500 km. (Author).
