Digital Filtering Analysis Applied to the Atmosphere Explorer-C Satellite MESA Accelerometer Data

Abstract

This report summarizes the mathematical and data analyses required to extract scientifically meaningful data from a total output signal degraded by noise. The methods described use digital filtering techniques, and the results are applied specifically to scientific accelerometer data flown aboard the Atmosphere Explorer satellite. Atmospheric drag and density variations are calculated using these methods. The results given will be incorporated by analysts and experimenters into presentations given at scientific meetings.
