The paper describes a special simplified model of the upper atmosphere which is based on the development of the density value in a specific layer into spherical harmonic functions and its application to computing the changes of orbital elements. The analytical theory is elaborated using the averaging method to remove the short-period terms. The theory is used to compute the perturbations of the orbital elements of the INTERKOSMOS 17 satellite. The results are compared to those computed using another theory (King-Hele) and also to the observed values of the changes of the orbital elements.
