Specifying Satellite Drag Through Coupled Thermosphere‐Ionosphere Data Assimilation of Radio Occultation Electron Density Profiles

Abstract The largest obstacle to managing satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) is accurately forecasting the neutral mass densities that appreciably impact atmospheric drag. Empirical thermospheric models are often used to estimate neutral densities but they struggle to forecast neutral densities dur...
