Detailed Solution

For satellite revolving in a circular orbit.
$\begin{array}{l} \frac{m v^{2}}{r} = \frac{G M m}{r^{2}} \\ o r m v^{2} r = G M m = c o n s \tan t \\ (m v r) ν = L v = c o n s \tan t \end{array}$
Air friction will provide a retarding torque to satellite and thus velocity of satellite will not change
$L_{1} = m v_{1} r_{1} a n d L_{2} = m v_{2} r_{2}$
