What's the tipping point for this? I'm watching the numbers clicking down, altitude below 100 miles now, speed slowly increasing. At what point does the atmospheric drag become too much and pulls it down into the thicker atmosphere?
Edit, while I was watching, it reached perigee.
Less than 92 miles altitude.
