The uncertainty of the drag coefficient of a sphere is analyzed as well as the importance of lateral surface grazing collisions on cylinders. The feasibility of design of a satellite body whose drag coefficient is obtainable with an uncertainty of less than 1 percent is demonstrated. Such a 'standard drag body' with a drag coefficient of 2.0 is considered.
