The effect of aerodynamic drag and the geopotential on the motion of the satellite 1964-52B is analyzed using a model of the atmosphere that allows for oblateness and in which the density behavior approximates to the observed diurnal variation. Four values of the average atmospheric rotation rate at heights of 296-476 km at latitude 0-54 deg are obtained which are consistent with previous analyses. An analysis of the variations in inclination at 15:1 has yielded lumped values of the harmonic coefficients of orders 15 and 30. The lumped coefficients are given in equations and will be useful in a further determination of the individual coefficients of 15th and 30th order.
