Orbital decay rates obtained by the Intercosmos 10 rocket (1973-82B) are used to determine 591 atmospheric density values at heights of between 180 and 280 km for the November 1973-September 1977 period. Variations by as much as 14 percent year to year in the amplitude of a particular maximum or minimum of the semiannual variation are noted. The October-November maximum was shown to be higher than the correspondng March-April maximum, and the January-February minimum to be higher than the corresponding July-August minimum. Minima were generally found in the first weeks of January and July, and maxima in the third week of April and the second week of November.
