摘要

Europe's Meteosat-6 weather satellite on April 15 was moved into a graveyard orbit some 380 kilometers above the geostationary belt after 17 years of operations, the Eumetsat meteorological organization announced. The spin-stabilized satellite, launched in 1993 on what was designed as a five-year mission, was "passivated" on arrival at its retirement location, meaning its remaining fuel was dumped, its batteries discharged and its fuel tanks vented to remove gas, Milan Kline, Eumetsat spacecraft and flight dynamics engineer, said in a statement. These techniques are designed to mitigate the risk that Meteosat-6, if hit by another piece of orbital debris, would explode and create still more debris.
