When the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was originally launched by the space shuttle Discovery, its approximately circular orbit was at an altitude of about 600 kilometers. However, over the next several years, the altitude decreased so that subsequent servicing missions were required to lift the HST back into the higher orbit. What is responsible for the orbital decay?
