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.
