Proceedings of the Atmospheric Neutral Density Specialist Conference, Held in Colorado Springs, Colorado on March 22-23, 1988
Abstract
Ever since the first man-made Earth satellite was launched in 1957, the scientific community has undertaken extensive and intensive studies of the atmospheric density at satellite altitudes. The critical impact of the neutral density upon orbital motion motivated research at various institutions and resulted in diverse models, developed for a wide range of space systems and mission applications. Topics for the presentations were selected to provide information and to generate discussion among the conference participants. The specific session topics included: Examine the status of the current operational requirements and operational difficulties; Assess the state-of-the-art atmospheric neutral density models and operational feasibilities; Identify the available databases and additional data necessary for further improvements; Address the operational standardization/compatibility issues; Consolidate the near-term and long-term research and development activities, inter-agency cooperation/collaboration and funding support; and, Generate and document recommendations and action items. Symposia.
