title = "Satellite drag models: Current status and prospects",
abstract = "Recent developments in satellite drag modeling are reviewed to provide an updated assessment and to identify potential areas of improvement. Effects of neutral density, winds and drag coefficients are examined. Empirical neutral density model accuracies have quantitatively improved little over the past 30 years. Models based on first principles can circumvent many limitations of empirical models. Techniques that permit utilization of this approach are being analyzed. Forthcoming satellite and ground-based measurement programs can lead to eventual significant improvements in model accuracies.",
