Summary Graveyard orbits generally apply to geostationary or Lagrange point orbits where space is limited. In other cases the satellite may be dangerous with, for example, a nuclear power supply. Most lower orbiting satellites are not an issue because they disintegrate on reentry - eventually. Obsolete geostationary satellites are supposed to be moved to a higher orbits and inclinations. Lagrange satellites are moved into an arbitrary solar orbit with there remaining fuel.
