Scientific paper

This paper offers a personal (and therefore biased) survey of the advances in knowledge of the thermosphere made possible by measuring the changes in the orbits of satellites, particularly in the early years of the space era. Reliable numerical values of air density at heights above 200 km were obtained for the first time, and many different types of variation in density were discovered and codified. Subsequently the orbital changes were analyzed to determine other atmospheric parameters, such as scale height and zonal winds.
