The Hill sphere is the largest sphere, centered at the secondary body, within which the sum of the three forces is always directed towards the secondary body..Thus, the Hill sphere describes the outer limit that an even smaller third body, such as a moon or artificial satellite, can orbit the secondary body.

Collisions with air particles in Earth's atmosphere slowly act to circularize the orbit and slow down the spacecraft causing it to drop to lower altitudes.
