Dynamic modeling of a LEO satellite's motion requires precise computation of atmospheric density for drag effect modeling. Here, the Jacchia-Bowman 2006 and 2008 atmospheric models are used to calculate the total mass density of the atmosphere. The position of the Sun is computed using the JPL Ephemerides (DE440) to improve the accuracy of the model.
