Dear All,
For the first
A good question. Some people seem to get in effortlessly, others seldom if
at all. I fall into the seldom category, though I had better luck today.
Someone suggested that perhaps my dilithium crystals needed realignment, so
I pulled out my calibrated deviation meter, and verified the PL is set
turned
off. Either that, or leave it in linear mode all the time.

OK, I'll revise my earlier question and suggest a reply.
The physically larger satellite will have more atmospheric drag which will
spiral it into a lower
orbit. The lower orbit, the higher the velocity and thereforeit crosses
your horizon earlier.

The influence of the drag force also depends on the mass since F=m*a,
so the same drag force will cause less deceleration on a heavier
satellite. You have to put this together with F=pressure*surface_area
to take both the size and the mass of the satellite into account.
By the way, is there any

Keep in mind they were in all likelihood deployed at different

Hi,
YAOGAN 8 traveling faster could be due to possible initial orbit
corrections and maneuvering that includes minor correction of
injection velocity (delta V). The drag do influence even at
