Wow! 20 km / year degradation? I’m very surprised it’s that fast. It looks like the boosts in the last year have nowhere near compensated fully for the degradation.

I was surprised, too. The surface area with the solar panels is huge compared to its mass, so that's probably why it's so easily affected.
