A new study found that the density of the thermosphere will decrease by 30-35% at an altitude of 250 miles over the next few decades. That loss of drag would increase the lifetime of space debris in LEO by 30% compared to 2000. by clayt6 Exactly! How do they even dare to question it! Permalink Parent −8−
