Scientific paper

The drag perturbations are characterized by the decrements of the semimajor axis during one revolution of an artificial satellite. Model TD is used for the definition of the thermospheric density. Since it includes the effects of solar activity, the solution of the equations of motion is obtained in the form of perturbations over one revolution, depending on solar flux. The results show a steady increase of the magnitude of the perturbations with rising solar activity, the effect being more pronounced toward greater heights.
