astronaut loses $100,000 tool bag during spacewalk

Its orbit will eventually decay until it burns up in the atmosphere.

Assuming 15 kilos of mass and a drag cross section of 0.5 square meters it should re-enter the atmosphere in 317 days. That's a size estimate based on my tool bag here. If it's larger than that, say a full square meter, that number cuts in half.

They have another reboost scheduled between now and the end of the month that should put it safely below the station's orbit.
