[amsat-bb] Decaying Satellites

[Francis Geraci]

I am wondering if, as a Sat. decays, getting closer to Earth, will there be
"better" comms ?
Guess they will be moving faster. Will the Keps  "decay"?  Interference
from "reentry" heating ? Battery's gone first ? Solar panels "ripped" off.
Or, Just GONE ! Orbital mechanics at it best.
Wondering what the "mechanics" of re-entry are. Can't be "pretty". Poor
little satellites. So many people, worked SO hard to get them there.
Just curious.
