Hi everyone. 

I need a program in maple to simulate the orbit of a satellite slowed down by the earth's atmosphere.

I chose the simple case, in which the orbits of the two are elliptical and I use The animation to do this. In this case I did not consider that the satellite interacts with the atmosphere.

Now,  I need equations to write part of the program in which I think the satellite is slowed down by the earth's atmosphere. I don't have any ideea to resolve this problem.

Soo.. I really need your' help as soon as posible.

Thank you a lot!
