Improving the estimation of thermospheric neutral density via two-step assimilation of in situ neutral density into a numerical model
Abstract Neutral thermospheric density is an essential quantity required for precise orbit determination of satellites, collision avoidance of satellites, re-entry prediction of satellites or space debris, and satellite lifetime assessments. Empirical models of the thermosphere fail to provide suffi...
