Localized In-Situ Density Measurement in Low Earth Orbit via Drag Torque Estimation
Orbital forecasting is an essential part of precision satellite operations. The largest contributor to orbital propagation error in low orbits is atmospheric drag, which varies widely due to altitude, latitude, and solar activity. Accurate in-situ measurements would enable improved orbital forecasti...
