Magnetic Damping of Rotation of the Vanguard I Satellite

Abstract

Explicit integration of integrals of the type basic to comparison of observed and predicted values of the earth's mean total magnetic field reveals an error in the numerical integration recently employed by Raymond H. Wilson, Jr., in making such a comparison for the special case of Vanguard I. Correction of this error destroys the satisfactory agreement he found between the value implied by rotational damping and the theoretical value.
