Its not even an approximation, its more like an artificial boundary. The atmosphere affects pretty much all LEO satellites. Even ISS need a push every now and then to not fall down ans its at around 400 km altitude.

In case anyone wondered:
Karman line is defined rougly as " the altitude where the speed necessary to aerodynamically support the airplane's full weight equals orbital velocity."
I.e An aircraft at that altitude would have to fly so fast in order to produce lift that it would effectively be in orbit. so
 "The Karman line is therefore the highest altitude at which orbital speed provides sufficient aerodynamic lift to fly in a straight line that doesn't follow the curvature of the Earth's surface."

You can call it a crash, but Detroit really wants to space jack that thing.

The fire wouldnt even be out yet and it will be stripped down to nothing. Then left sitting on cinder blocks after its space wheels are stolen

My vote is for San Francisco.  I really want to see that rumor spread.

Weird I haven’t heard a thing about this and I live in SE Michigan.... hopefully it just burns up on re-entry or lands in the lake(s) honestly.

Window down to March 30 - April 6. Orbit now 224 x 246 km, down from 235 x 257 km a week ago.

This could match  Hopi's Blue Star Katchina prophecy. I remember watching  this images ,  russian MIR  burning with blue-turquoise light during reentry .   



"The final sign   
The ninth and final sign of destruction is described by White Feather as, "You will hear of a dwelling-place in the heavens, above the earth, that shall fall with a great crash. It will appear as a blue star. Very soon after this, the ceremonies of my people will cease. This idea of the Blue Star Kachina marking the end of all Hopi rituals is reflected in Waters' book, Book of the Hopi, in which he states, "The end of all Hopi ceremonialism will come when a kachina removes his mask during a dance in the plaza before uninitiated children.[5]" This absence of Hopi ceremonialism will coincide with the destruction of the Fourth World. Waters suggested that World War III will begin and the United States will be ripped apart by war, leaving only the Hopis and their homeland intact. The war of the end of the world is described by Waters as "a spiritual conflict with material matters [5]"

Geomagnetic storms have accelerated the orbital decay, new window is 30th of March +/- 4 days.

TIANGONG 1  on N2YO tracking map, not sure if uses real orbital data or just an animation.

Interesting you mentioned that, i thought solar flares is affecting on board electronics only; i just read the ISS orbit was also lifted last week,found it explained on NOAA.   https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/impacts/satellite-drag
 I know people are laughing about this things,  i'm listening Coast to Coast radio show for almost 20 years with all my sensors tuned to max receptivity,  love UFO, aliens, Illuminati, paranormal conspiracy bs. :x The most interesting show ever, was with ED Dames guest accurately  predicting Fukushima disaster (without a time frame) and something like a space shuttle crashing down on Earth, maybe same solar flare drag effect on orbit .  I don't know what to believe about remote viewing , certain is we all have some telepathic ESP capabilities, mine resumes to incoming phone calls pre-sensing like most people.
