Summary Of: Graveyard orbit

findings have shown that satellites left in a graveyard orbit will slowly break apart as micrometeorites hit them... orbiting it to a graveyard orbit would require about 11 m... the graveyard orbit would be few hundred... to commit to moving to a graveyard orbit at the end of their operational life...
