Scientific paper

Continuous and discrete forms of the propellant longevity equation are derived. Expressions for the propellant mass decrement equation are developed for both spherically symmetrical and oblate diurnal atmospheres. The result for the oblate diurnal atmosphere is applied to the discrete form of the propellant longevity equation to provide numerical examples illustrating their application to several areas of mission planning.
