Randolph WI (Strutts News Services) – All orbits decay over time, which means that satellites can fall, and France’s Maison de L’orbite space station is no exception.
The experimental prototype, built in the early 1960’s and launched last April, officially brought France into the Space Age with little fanfare. Presently orbiting at 500 feet, it’s orbit is decaying at the rate of 2.7 inches per day, and is expected to return to earth sometime in 2015.
