Zusammenfassung:The MIMOSA project, which involves the launch of the small satellite MIMOSA carrying the MACEK microaccelerometer as its only instrument and has as its aim the determination of the atmospheric density distribution in space and time and the detection and measurement of disturbing effects of nongravitational origin, is discussed. The design of the satellite and accelerometer, the satellite orbit, and the ground station are discussed. (AIAA)
