Analysis of Orbital Atmospheric Density from QQ-Satellite Precision Orbits Based on GNSS Observations

Atmospheric drag provides an indirect approach for evaluating atmospheric mass density, which can be derived from the Precise Orbit Determination (POD) of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. A method was developed to estimate nongravitational acceleration, which includes the drag acceleration of the t...
