Atmospheric Density Determination from Analysis of Doppler Beacon Satellite Data.

Abstract

Atmospheric densities are computed from analysis of Doppler beacon satellite data. Modifications to Doppler beacon data processing program CELEST necessary for this study are described. Results obtained for satellites DB-7(6382), DB-8(6727), and DB-9(6928) are found to be in good agreement with those obtained by analysis of skin track data for the same satellites using program CADNIP.
