Using the RAE orbit refinement computer program PROP6, the orbit of Explorer 24 (1964-76A) is determined at 18 epochs during the five-month period before its decay in October 1968. It is found that, as a balloon, the satellite was strongly influenced by atmospheric perturbations, despite its high perigee altitude near 490 km. It thus provided an opportunity of determining atmospheric rotation rates at high altitude. Rotation rates for morning and evening conditions are presented. The rates are estimated from the observed variation in orbital inclination after the removal of perturbations, including those due to solar radiation pressure.
