🛰️ Low Earth Orbit Decay: Atmospheric Drag, Solar Cycle, Ballistic Coefficient and Reboost Budget Lab

A satellite in low Earth orbit slowly spirals down through a layered exponential atmosphere: choose altitude, mass, area and solar activity, watch the orbit-averaged decay, read the lifetime, then plan a Hohmann reboost and the propellant budget needed to stay up.
