Re:Space Junk Solution? Tiny Cubesat to Test New De-Orbiting... by db48x on Monday July 03, 2017 @10:30PM (#14693086)
Radial burns require more fuel than prograde/retrograde, and most satellites don't have enough fuel to deorbit. Geosynchronous satellites usually go to a higher orbit at their end of life, actually, since that's cheapest.
