Scientific paper

The mathematical formulation of the problem of the perturbations in the perigee distance due to atmospheric drag and its analytical solution, taking into consideration the TD model (Total Density) which was formulated by Sehnal (1986) is presented. Using the TD model, the theory is valid for altitudes ranging from 200 to 500 km above the Earth's surface and for the solar 10.7 cm flux from 69 to 220 (in 10-22Watt m-2Hz-1 bandwidth units). Numerical examples are given to show the perturbing effect of air drag on the perigee distance for artificial Earth satellites.
