Scientific paper

The orbit of Cosmos 347 rocket (1970-43B) has been determined in the form of 23 sets of orbital elements at intervals during its eight-month life, with the aid of the RAE orbit improvement program PROP, using about 850 observations from 47 observing stations. The values of orbital inclination obtained, which had standard deviations between 0.7 and 10 sec of arc, were analyzed to give a mean atmospheric rotation rate of 1.40 plus or minus 0.05 rev/day at a mean height near 240 km, for dates between July and December 1970, and local times ranging from 1800 hr to midnight to 0900 hr. This value is higher than those obtained from other satellites at similar heights.
