Validation of Earth atmosphere models using solar EUV observations from the CORONAS and PROBA2 satellites in occultation mode
Aims: Knowledge of properties of the Earth’s upper atmosphere is important for predicting the lifetime of low-orbit spacecraft as well as for planning operation of space instruments whose data may be distorted by atmospheric effects. The accuracy of the models commonly used for simulating the struct...
