[QUOTE="cachsux, post: 881058, member: 5529"] Actually it`s even easier to penetrate at higher altitudes. The problem comes when the atmosphere is entered at greater and greater speeds. Friction between the entering vehicle and the atoms flowing around it create heat to the point of plasma at the speed the satellite will be coming in. Also since this satellite wasn`t designed for reentry the heat cause the structure to fail ultimately creating a tumbling effect until the satellite eventually breaks apart with the smaller pieces burn up and a few of the larger,exotic material, pieces actually survive entry. IF you could control your speed to a slow enough level you could drop from space to the surface as easily as you drop insults. [/QUOTE]
