No way. Orbital decay times increase more or less exponentially, and once you get above the thermopause (which moves around from 500-1000km based upon terrestrial and space weather conditions), atmospheric drag becomes practically 0. SpaceX is upfront about this in their FCC filings: "The natural orbital decay of a satellite at 1,150 km requires hundreds of years to enter the Earth’s atmosphere" |
