Description

A special "drag" term associated with the SGP4 propagator. It measured in units of 1/earth radii and is related to the Spacecraft's Cd. It is obtained by having FreeFlyer import a Two-Line Element (TLE) state vector. It is also computed by FreeFlyer when a conversion from Cartesian elements to SGP4 elements is invoked.
