    They burn up on re-entry, at least they’re supposed to.

      Thanks, atmosphere 🙂❤️ that’s interesting design! Will any of the debris reach the planet or is it designed to break apart in a particular fashion?

        Not in a solid form. There may be some undesirable effects though at greater numbers, we don’t really have good data. Here’s a blog post by the European Space Agency talking about a couple studies on the effects of satellite reentry. Note that the satellites they simulated were significantly larger than the Starlink satellites.

        My understanding is they’re designed to completely disintegrate.

      And by doing so, aluminium in them is attacking the ozone layer that is already having a tough time…
