Drag Sensitivity Analysis

Drag Sensitivity Analysis is a methodological framework within atmospheric drag effects research that systematically quantifies the responsiveness of orbital trajectory predictions to variations in drag model parameters, distinguished by its focus on isolating and evaluating the influence of individual atmospheric and spacecraft-specific factors on orbital decay uncertainties.
