[edit] Reason for decay?

Why did the spacecraft's orbit decay? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.162.0.42 (talk) 19:26, 1 May, 2006 (UTC)

It was probably slowed down by friction from the atmosphere, until it no longer had sufficient velocity to stay in orbit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PCSrules2018 (talkcontribs) 23:24, 9 August, 2006 (UTC)
