rrmtopo 1 #29 March 3, 2012 Low earth orbit, doesn't matter which direction you shoot, the bullet will re-enter (using something with current gun technology). Shuttle deorbit burn was only ~76 m/s. Rule of thumb we use for ISS is ~1.76 km increase/decrease 180 degrees from an instantaneous 1.0 m/s burn. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And if you shoot straight ahead, adding to the orbital velocity? Or are you referring to the drag in LEO that will eventually degrade the orbit regardless?...
