- Definition process that leads to gradual decrease of the distance between two orbiting bodies at their closest approach (the periapsis) over many orbital periods Reference 'Orbital decay'. Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_decay [21.12.2016]
- Comment If left unchecked, the decay eventually results in termination of the orbit where the smaller object strikes the surface of the primary; or for objects where the primary has an atmosphere, it burns, explodes, or otherwise breaks up in its atmosphereREF: 'Orbital decay'.
