Scientific paper
The German satellite CHAMP was launched on 15 July 2000 into a near-polar orbit at an initial altitude of 456 km. After a successful mission of more than 10 years a wealth of data has been collected. By September 2010 the orbit altitude has declined to below 250 km, and the high-resolution magnetic field measurements are fully functionally. The presentation will focus on the conditions prevailing during the final CHAMP mission phase (below 300 km altitude). This includes the change in spacecraft attitude, and possible influences on the magnetic field readings. I will show the orbit altitude evolution and its relation to the local time of the orbit. Of interest is the magnetic activity during the months of the final phase and the status of the ionosphere. All these parameters worked together quite favourably.
