THE ORBIT OF COSMOS 137 ROCKET (1966-117B) DETERMINED BY PROP.

Abstract

The R.A.E. orbit determination program, PROP, is used to determine the orbit of Cosmos 137 rocket (1966-117B) at 10 epochs in February 1967, April-May 1967 and August 1967, using mainly visual observations. A value for the rotational speed of the atmosphere is obtained from the orbit. (Author)
