Scientific paper

By employing the SAO Differential Orbit Improvement Program (DOI), orbital elements have been derived and tabulated by the Observatory. In the sense that the effects of short-period perturbations due to the earth's oblateness have been eliminated, the elements presented are mean elements as opposed to osculating elements. The mean elements have been derived from observations covering several days; the smoothed elements are derived either by a least-squares fit to the mean elements or directly by the DOI for the entire period covered. Also presented are atabulations of data related to the perturbing effects of atmospheric drag. In this report, orbital elements are tabulated for the period September 1959 through April 1960 of Satellites 1958 β1 (Vanguard 1 Rocket), 1958 β2 (Vanguard 1), 1958 δ2 (Sputnik 3), and 1959 ι1 (Explorer 7). A paper, On the Orbital Elements of Satellite 1959 Iota 1, by Yoshihide Kozai, is also included in this report.
