Graveyard Orbits Where Old Satelittes Are Forgotten

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.
