Title: The orbital elements of Ariel 1 for April-August, 1962 and a comparison of R.A.E. and N.A.S.A. ephemerides
Abstract: The R.A.E. Orbit Improvement Programme has been used to determine the orbital elements of the Ariel 1 satellite (196201) for the periods April 28 - July 6 and August 4 - August 19, 1962, from Minitrack observations provided by N.A.S.A.
Using these elements, two sample ephemerides each extending over one orbital period have been obtained with the R.A.E. Ephemeris Programme. These are compared with the corresponding N.A.S.A. ephemerides.
