[amsat-bb] Question on ANDE/RAFT/NMARS/FCAL

Likely a questions for Bob Bruninga....

Since NMARS and RAFT have both re-entered the atmosphere, how is it FCAL and ANDE are still in orbit since they were lauched at the same time? I could understand a slight difference, but it's been weeks since they re-entered. Did they have a different trajectory or less drag than the first 2? Curious minds...
