Subject: Satellite Drag
“Drag is a force exerted on an object moving through a fluid, and it is oriented in the direction of relative fluid flow. Drag acts opposite to the direction of motion and tends to slow an object”.
-------------------
Such drag effects on satellites around the revolving Earth on it´s orbital motion, of course constantly makes satellites to move away from their decided positions, hence the constantly needed regulation.
.
It´s a simple aerodynamic drag effect in space where the satellites periodically are affected as the Earth rotates and orbits the Sun.
It all has nothing to do with *gravity* or *time dilation*.
