Satellites in near-earth orbit experience a very slight drag due to the extremely thin upper atmosphere. these satellites slowly but surely spiral inward, where they finally burn up as they reach the thicker lower levels of the atmosphere. the radius decreases so slowly that you can consider the satellite to have a circular orbit at all times. as a satellite spirals inward, does it speed up, slow down, or maintain the same speed?
