LOGO PHYSICS OF THE MIDDLE AND UPPER ATMOSPHERE中高层大气物理学Atmospheric Drag 2011 Atmospheric drag Moving with velocity v with respect to the atmospheric gas CD , ballistic coefficient For a satellite moving in a circular orbit around the Earth Newtonian mechanics Kinetic energy Potential energy Total energy Atmospheric drag (Cont.) The rate of change of energy due to atmospheric drag The rate of change of the orbit radius Change of orbit period Since the variations in r from orbit to orbit is very small, the orbital period T = 2πr/v is a better parameter.
