    I think it's interesting to note that the predicted decay of the ISS as
    shown on the Science News page is a linear function, whereas the actual
    decay of Mir as shown at NASA page,
    http://www.hq.nasa.gov/mir/mirvis.html
    is non linear. The decay accelerates as the orbit becomes lower, as I would
    expect.
