About this document
Modeling LEO Satellite Orbital Decay by fowouange31 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document presents a simplified analytical model for predicting the orbital decay of Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites due to atmospheric drag, highlighting the influence of atmospheric density variations and satellite parameters on decay timescales. The study emphasizes the importance of accurate atmospheric density representation and solar activity in estimating satellite lifetimes, especially in light of increasing space debris and mega-constellations. Results indicate that orbital lifetimes can vary
