I searched for some atmospheric models for planet Earth.

I am still looking for Jacchia 77 package but can't find it on NASA website anywhere but found it on GitHub, but it is written in Python. It provides a link to NASA website, but I got error 404. Does anyone know where Jacchia 77 package that comes with Fortran source codes is?

Also, I found new atmospheric models that are JB2008 and NRLMISISE-00 and NRLMSISE v2.0 so far. NRLMSISE v2.0 provides data up to 1000 km.

That's why I need high altitude data like exosphere area so that can simulate orbit decay.

Thanks,
Tim

The version of NRLMSISE already works up to 1000km in Orbiter.

What would be a nice feature to have is the ability to historical replay F10.7 data into it.
