Book Description
The main purpose of this Report was to evaluate the atmospheric rotation rate from changes in the satellite's orbital inclination. This was successfully accomplished and it was also possible to make two other useful analyses: the right ascension of the node was analysed to demonstrate for the first time the effects of atmospheric rotation on this orbital element; also, since the solar activity was at a higher level than at any time since 1958, the values of scale height derived from the decrease in perigee height proved to be of unexpected significance.

Book Description
Cosmos 1009 rocket was launched on 19 May 1978 into an orbit with initial perigee height 150 km and apogee 1100 km: its lifetime was only 17 days. The orbit has been determined daily during the final 14 days of its life. The orbits were analysed to reveal three features of the upper atmosphere at heights between 125 and 175 km. From the decrease in perigee height, five values of density scale height, accurate to + or - 4%, were obtained. Atmospheric oblateness produced a change of 4 deg in perigee position during the last four days of the life. Analysis showed that the ellipticity of the upper atmosphere was approximately equal to that of the Earth, f, for the first two of the four days, and about 1/2 f in the last two. The orbital inclination was analysed to determine zonal winds at heights of 150-160 km at latitudes near 47 deg north. The zonal wind was very weak (0 + or - 30 m/s) for 23-28 May at local times near 03 h; and 90 + or - 30 m/s east-to-west for 29 May to 4 June at local times near 01 h. (Author).
