OSCAR simulations have been conducted with orbits with apogee varying from 15000 km to 65000 km in 5000 km steps.
The perigee has been varied for every apogee height from 250 km to 400 km in 50 km steps.
Every simulation has been done for 4 different launch dates:
| 21.03.2025 12:00:00 | Spring |
| 21.06.2025 12:00:00 | Summer |
| 21.09.2025 12:00:00 | Autumn |
| 21.12.2025 12:00:00 | Winter |
If not specified otherwise all settings in DRAMA have been kept to the default values.
