Scientific paper

As earlier reported, preliminary values of the atmospheric density have been inferred from observations of artificial USSR earth satellites. Those densities were greater than the densities predicted by most existing atmospheric models at corresponding altitudes. This paper presents an interim and highly tentative atmospheric model adjusted to be the same as the ARDC model atmosphere (devised by Minzner and Ripley), at altitudes below about 90 km, and to agree with the densities inferred from the satellites at an altitude of 220 km. Although this model is crude and only roughly approximate, it may be of use in predicting the lifetimes of new earth satellites.
