Scientific paper

A catalog of atmospheric densities derived from the drag on five balloon satellites is presented. These densities replace and, in two cases, considerably extend previously published results on these same satellites. Much of the catalog is based on precisely reduced Baker-Nunn observations and, for that reason, provides much better time resolution than was possible before. The effect of direct solar radiation pressure has been precisely evaluated, and that of terrestrial radiation pressure has been included in every case. The interval covered for each satellite varies between 3.1 and 7.6 years, with the data extending from early 1961 to early 1973.
