@volcano @sundogplanets since every idiot with too much money wants to put a ridicioulus amount of satelites in orbit i think the Situation is only getting worse.

@volcano @sundogplanets they have thrusters to avoid other satellites and debris, and they carry enough propellant to deorbit at end of life and burn up safely in the atmosphere

@volcano @sundogplanets

For the most part YES. Most of these satellites have ion thrusters which should allow them to be deorbited on command. The orbit these are on will also naturally decay after 5yrs if the satellites stop occasionally boosting their orbits.

This is all a bit uncharted air control problem the so it's probably a bit dangerous to bring a lot down at once.
