🛰️ Satellite Orbital Decay and Re-entry: Ballistic Coefficient, Solar Activity and Demise Altitude Lab

Watch a satellite spiral down through the thermosphere under drag, then burn up: set mass, area, drag coefficient, solar activity and material, fast-forward the decay, apply a retro-burn and see heating, deceleration and whether parts demise.
