Drag Coefficient Estimation

Drag Coefficient Estimation is a computational and analytical methodology within atmospheric drag modeling that quantifies the dimensionless drag coefficient of an object in a fluid flow by integrating observational data, empirical correlations, and aerodynamic theory to characterize the resistance experienced by spacecraft or atmospheric vehicles during orbital decay or flight.
