| 1. | Objects below approximately will experience very rapid orbital decay and altitude loss.
|
| 2. | Orbital decay is much slower at altitudes where atmospheric drag is insignificant.
|
| 3. | More sophisticated models are used to predict orbital decay of satellites.
|
| 4. | Passive methods of increasing the orbital decay rate of spacecraft debris have been proposed.
|
| 5. | SGP8 / SDP8 introduced additional improvements for handling orbital decay.
|
| 6. | The probe was turned off on April 9, 2015 after its orbital decay accelerated.
|
| 7. | The ratio of observed to predicted rate of orbital decay is calculated to be 0.997?.002.
|
| 8. | Several distinct relativistic effects are observed, including orbital decay as in the Hulse Taylor system.
|
| 9. | After many years orbiting New Terra, the " Conestoga " eventually crashes due to orbital decay.
|
| 10. | On 27 January, 2008 information about the orbital decay of USA-193 was given to the media.
