Orbits within the atmosphere are not stable due to atmospheric friction. Friction slows (and heats) the satellite, dropping its orbit still lower (where there's more friction, therefore more slowing and heating). Eventually the satellite burns up. This is essentially what happened to Skylab and more recently to Mir.
