Abstract
Equations are given which specify the contraction of satellite orbits under the influence of air drag in an atmosphere with a constant ‘density’ scale height’ H, and it is shown how these equations are to be modified when H varies with height. Some examples are given of values of H determined by means of these equations from the observed changes in satellite orbits.
