De-orbiting them would consume a lot of delta-V.. plus if they're 'stored' in orbit they have a very narrow path where they can go in a certain period of time.

- FeepingCreature 6y agoCould de-orbiting be partially managed by shooting them backward from the platform, using atmospheric resistance to bleed off the gained velocity of the platform?
