I am wondering if, as a Sat. decays, getting closer to Earth, will there be "better" comms ? Guess they will be moving faster. Will the Keps "decay"? Interference from "reentry" heating ? Battery's gone first ? Solar panels "ripped" off. Or, Just GONE ! Orbital mechanics at it best. Wondering what the "mechanics" of re-entry are. Can't be "pretty". Poor little satellites. So many people, worked SO hard to get them there. Just curious.
