PIX4642742: A satellite is directed to a cemetery orbit - Reorbiting a spacecraft into a graveyard orbit - Artist's view of a satellite in geostationary orbit at the end of the mission directs to a cemetery orbit. In order to prevent possible collisions, the satellite must be placed 300 km above its initial orbit. In order to eliminate collision risk, GEO satellites should be moved out of the geostationary ring at the end of their mission. It is recommended that their orbit should be raised by about 300 km, which is considered a safe distance to avoid future interference with active GEO spacecraft / Bridgeman Images
PIX4642769: Space Debris: Meteosat type satellite - Space debris: Meteosat satellite - Artist's view of a Meteosat satellite when it is put into orbit. As with many satellites, orbit operations cause new space debris (ejection of covers, bolts...); in view of the dangerous increase in space debris, it is imperative to design cleaner satellites today (here a cover remains attached to the satellite). A measure against space debris is minimizing the number of objects released during spacecraft operations. Typical “” mission - related objects”” (MRO) include adapters used between two satellites in a dual launch, telescope covers, bolts, cast off yo - yo spinners, etc. Spacecraft designers and operators must design missions so that objects stay attached to the spacecraft and do not become additional space debris / Bridgeman Images
