Thanks for posting lr - there is actually something pretty smart about the way they're doing this.
ReplyDeleteSmall, low orbiting satellites are inherently short lived. They will run out of boost fuel, their orbit will decay, and they will burn up harmlessly (being small.) Win-win.
Dead satellites hogging prime orbital real estate are a genuine problem. Good to see they are thinking ahead.
OK. 'Help me, help me!' to misquote the original 'The Fly' movie.

I usually search for a word that is as unique says possible to that post. Or, if you know when you posted it you can look through the archive that covers that date.
DeleteDances, here is the thread where you tell us in the comments of Debbie's passing :(
