A simple empirical formula is found to fit the computed values of Le/L0, where L0 is the lifetime of a satellite in a circular orbit of radius r0, and Le is the lifetime of a satellite in eccentric orbit with perigee distance equal to r0. The formula eliminates The singularity gap for low values of orbital eccentricity that makes existing formulas unwieldy in that region. Tables for quick computation of atmospheric drag, and lifetime tables, are given.
