Comment on Bad news for Starlink: Earth’s atmosphere is shrinking
kibiz0r@midwest.social 3 days agoI’ve heard that before. But the main point of the paper is that drag is decreasing. So I’m curious to know how that impacts the stability of Starlink going forward. I doubt they have new figures after one day.

They aim to actively deorbit starlink sats.
As far as I know, apart from the first few batches, the “production run” of sats has a pretty low failure rate and are proactively sent to their demise.
